The partisan storm that erupted on the House floor Thursday briefly spilled into the adjacent Speaker's Lobby, where startled reporters witnessed two lawmakers going toe-to-toe.

Rep. Zach Wamp (R-TN) was miffed at overhearing a fellow lawmaker calling him "a chicken" when he yielded to GOP leadership pressure and switched his vote from aye to nay on an amendment to anti-terrorism legislation.

Wamp turned to Rep. Corrine Brown (D-FL), demanding to know, "Did you call me a chicken?" Brown replied she had not, then followed Wamp out of the chamber and into the Speaker's Lobby to chide him for falsely accusing her.

"It was Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-TX). She was the one calling him a chicken-which he is," Brown said. "I told him to get out of my face." Brown, who like Johnson is African American, added sarcastically, "Of course, we all look alike."
