[Posted by Karl] Now we know what is not covered by pending hate crimes legislation, assuming the amendment is adopted. Thanks for clearing that up, formerly impeached judge. And yes, there is a moment when Rep. Hastings almost breaks into a number from The Rocky Horror Picture Show. –Karl

"In this state we have over 2300 felonies. Eleven of them involving oysters". Well I don't know about you, sir, but I can imagine some pretty heinous crimes involving bivalves: Alcee Hastings isn't a sex ed teacher, he's a U.S. congressman. But earlier this week he taught his colleagues in the House -- and online viewers across the country -- a few new sex terms. Hastings, D-Miramar, was speaking...

According to the YouTube page, “So The Cleveland Board of Tourism was not happy with the first video that I turned in.

Alcee Hastings (D-Fla.) got up to speak on the House floor yesterday about an amendment to the hate crimes bill, and ended reading off a very, very long list of peculiar sex acts. "I apologize to our transcriber," he said, "but I want to put into the record what we have to put up with in the Rules Committee." Among the deviant sexual...

Ryan Grim posted this video classic of Representative Alcee Hastings straight up reading a long list of awesome, multisyllabic perversions into the Congressional Record, for freedom. DCist's cut , which I've posted below, comes in at 3:17, and I naturally wondered what tune would make perfect underscoring for this clip. My iTunes had many suggestions. The better ones included: The Lovely Sparrows,...
