West to shake up Washington!!! Oy
http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/state/allen-west-fiery-freshman-hopes-to-shake-up-1100731.html

Excerpt from PBPost on this A-hole

The man who's both loved and reviled for his fiery rhetoric — one passion-filled speech calling on people to fight against a "tyrannical government" has been viewed more than 2.3 million times on YouTube — isn't storming the Capitol to plant a "Don't Tread On Me" tea party flag on the lawn.

But he is gearing up for battle.

One big clue: When West arrived in Washington three weeks ago for orientation for new members of Congress, he wasn't toting a high-end Gucci briefcase. As he worked the halls of Congress, West carried his camouflage military helmet bag, replete with patches from every unit he served with.

West is 100 percent military. His 22-year career in the Army — not counting his time in high school ROTC or his later work as a military contractor in Afghanistan — explains much about the 49-year-old congressman-elect.

How will he handle himself as a congressman?
