Town Hall video: Rep. Baron Hill (D-IN) said, "This Is My Town Hall Meeting. I Set the Rules"

Representative Baron Hill (D-IN) is an arrogant jerk. When a journalism student asked nicely why she couldn't film his town hall for a school project, he said, "This Is My Town Hall Meeting. I Set the Rules." The crowd booed and Congressman Baron felt the need to reinforce the statement. He said, "Let me repeat that one more time. This is my town hall meeting for you. And you are not going to tell me how to run my Congressional office. Now the reasons why I don't allow filming is usually the films end up on YouTube in a compromising position." Congressman Baron, you got the last sentence correct, but you forgot to confiscate cell phone cameras at the door. Zing!

What a feckless weasel!

Typical. He thought he was being sneaky not allowing video taping so he could be his jerk-self. That backfired.

And the funny thing is, is that the filming of him compromising himself wasn't actually done by the student requesting to film. What an idiot!
