Please try to be civilized, you rancid lout
I read something years ago in the Congressional Record that made me laugh out loud. And that’s strange. That dull, dry publication of the House and Senate is normally a printed sleeping pill. The phone book is exciting by comparison.
But not on this day. Sen. Wayne Morse of Oregon was sort of apologizing to his colleague from the same state, Sen. Richard Neuberger. Morse said it had been called to his attention that he had overstepped the bounds of Senate propriety when he referred to Neuberger as “a rancid tub of ignorance.” Therefore, he asked unanimous consent that the word ‘rancid” be stricken from the record, leaving Neuberger only as a tub of ignorance.
