The YouTube video did not, of course, present the entire context.  I've seen
mayors so much worse than Laurel Prussing that her minor display of
irritation with noxious Libertarians barely merits comment.  If you're
squeamish about that, I hope you never have to witness a REAL meltdown.
Hell, Mayor Schweighart gets more irritated than that every single council
meeting, and says MUCH more inappropriate things.
