Illinois State Rep. Goes Insane in Epic Rant (VIDEO)


Check out this political speech. Pretty insane, huh? This video is of Illinois State Representative Mike Bost loosing in marbles during a floor speech yesterday. He throws papers, screams, punches the air, and flairs his arms — all the markings of a good epic insane speech. And you may have done the same once you find out his reasons.

Rep. Mike Bost lost it because earlier that day, a committee voted on a pension reform bill which then in turn brought it up for a vote for the entire House without enough time to even read the bill. Bost was furious because over one hundred page bill could even be properly discussed or looked through before being forced to vote upon it. Politics as usual? Maybe, but his rant does bring up a few important questions: do we give too much power to a single person in the state’s House of Representatives (or in any legislative branch) and aren’t these huge, unreadable bills with little to no time to read them doing us more harm than good?

    It is a shame that the entire room wasn’t standing with applause.
