C-SPAN Battle: Historian Interrupts Rep, “You Don’t Own Me!”

Televised congressional hearings often serve as a platform for members of Congress to berate, bloviate and showboat for the cameras, but at a House Natural Resources Committee hearing Tuesday, historian Douglas Brinkley wouldn’t stand for it.
“You just be quiet,” Alaskan Representative Young demanded.
“You don’t own me,” Brinkley shot back. “I pay your salary!”
Washington Republican Rep. Doc Hastings, the chairman of the committee, tried to break it up, but then Brinkley interrupted him.
“I work for the private sector,” Brinkley said.
When the chairman returned the floor to Young, the rumble began anew.
“We’re the ones who ask the questions, and you’re the one who answers the questions,” Young said. “Boy I’m really pissed right now.”
