To paraphrase "The Princess Bride," never start a land war in Asia, and never mess with a Sicilian when death is involved. Oh, and never talk shit to a Teamster. Unless you'd like to be either physically or rhetorically beaten to a pulp.

Here's the perfect example in a clip you're gonna wanna watch again and again. Rep. Markwayne Mullin (yes, his actual name) of Oklahoma insulted Teamsters President Sean O'Brien in a hearing, implying he and the Teamsters were greedy.

Bad move.

O'Brien showed us how it's done. Don't treat demagogues with respect. Show others what you and what they should think of them. O'Brien does it here and it's pretty amazing. Markwayne may still be crying himself to bed on his big boy pillow.
