We've written repeatedly in recent days about GOP Rep. John Shimkus' ridiculous behavior at President Obama's speech to a joint session of Congress. The downstate congressman walked out of the House chambers before the address had ended, citing "frustration" with Obama's purported lack of bipartisanship. Yesterday, the State Journal-Register's Bernard Schoenburg noted that Shimkus had put forth a "code of conduct" during his first run for Congress in 1996, adding:
“I will lead by example,” one part of that code said, “always building up my fellow citizens, and not tearing them down.”
Some might question the example he set last week.
Today, the Journal-Register's Chris Britt published a new cartoon lampooning "Shamekus." Take a look.
