"The country is hurtling toward a possible government shutdown after a funding plan collapsed yesterday. One top negotiator is angry — at the press.

“Who gave you the right to take my picture, asshole?” congressman David Scott yelled at a photographer on Wednesday. The 79-year-old Democrat was being pushed in a wheelchair by a staffer just outside the Capitol. A public official in a public place, it might seem surprising that such an experienced politician wouldn’t understand that the press doesn’t need permission to take his picture. I wasn’t surprised because I know something that’s an open secret on Capitol Hill."
