Congressman Facing Assault Charge after Airport Altercation

With Congress at a record low approval rating this is how one its members behaves. Members of Congress have become arrogant because they believe they will suffer no consequences for their behaviour. Their jobs are essentially for life. This particular individual is a 7-term Congressman:

A Democratic Congressman is facing assault and battery charges after an altercation Sunday at Dulles International Airport, outside Washington.

Rep. Bob Filner (D-CA) allegedly tried to enter a restricted area at the airport baggage claim and pushed aside an airport employee who tried to stop him, according to the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority. Several witnesses told local Washington affiliate ABC 7 news they saw Filner push the employee and refused to leave the restricted office.
