New York House members Rep. Anthony Weiner (D) and Rep. Peter King (R) took their fighting over how the 9/11 Health and Compensation bill failed during yesterday's House vote to Fox News. And basically it's a lot of finger pointing and raised voices, so set the volume a little lower than you usually have it. This might just best King's thoughts on Michael Jackson, the "pedophile" whose death was taking attention away from cops, teachers and firefighters! Hell, even Fox News's Bill Hemmer had to say, "Gentlemen, this may be why Congress today has an 11 percent approval rating by the American public."
After the jump, King's and Weiner's statements during the vote last night:
