LOS ANGELES (AP) — An increasingly bitter California congressional race between two House Democrats turned physical Thursday when one aggressively seized the shoulder of his opponent during a debate, yanked him toward his chest and shouted, “You want to get into this?”

The confrontation between Democratic Reps. Brad Sherman and Howard Berman came amid a nasty campaign for a Los Angeles-area  seat that has become one of the most expensive House contests in the nation.

The lunge by the 57-year-old Sherman appeared to startle Berman, who is 71 and smaller in stature, while the audience hooted and shouted.

    Crowd hoots and hollers….because Democrats are the same as Jerry Springer audiences.

    The crowd shows why California deserves to go down the tanker. Lived here my whole life, all 24 years of it, and that crowd was defiantly a good sampling of local mentality.

    It’ll be a shame when I make enough to move away. I’ll miss the surf, just not the surf crowds.

    Stick them both in a ring, and charge by pay-per-view. Boxing, wrestling, sumo–flip a coin or combine all three.

    Hmmm–just imagining a similar encounter between Nancy Pelosi and John Dennis.

    (Must apologize for the mental image of Nancy Pelosi as a sumo wrestler.)
