Rep. Joe Walsh makes himself accessible and meets with his constitutents on a regular basis. That's good.
Last Sunday, however, during a session with constitutents, Walsh lost it.
He gave Neil Cavuto his explanation for his behavior:
"I do these things every weekend, Neil,” Walsh said. “I show up at a coffee shop or restaurant in the district and invite anybody in my district to join me. I made the mistake of doing this on a very empty stomach with a little too much coffee, which sort of got me a little too fired up.”

Walsh should consider decaf.
He apologized to the woman for "getting a bit too passionate."
That was appropriate for him to do.
I'd rather have a representative be "fired up" and really care about issues than be sleepwalking through his or her term.
