Chuck Schumer took Nevada Republican John Ensign to task this morning at a committee hearing after Ensign apparently suggested that other disasters (tornadoes, Katrina, etc.) were comparable to the Sept. 11 attacks. We're told things got quite snippy, with Chuck shouting, "WILL THE GENTLEMAN YIELD?" and Ensign (whose game-show-host hair often earns him honorable mentions on DC's "Most Beautiful" list) snarling in defiance.
Transcript coming up soon, we hope.
