You may have heard that the House voted last night to send Sen. Ted Cruz a “I helped cause a $24 billion government shutdown and all I got was this lousy T-shirt” gift and end – for now – the government shutdown and extend the debt ceiling. As the vote went down, there was an outburst on the House floor except it didn’t come from a Tea Party Patriot; it came from the House stenographer who Fox News identified as Diane Reidy. She was dragged off as she continued to rant into the microphone.
He [God] will not be mocked! The greatest deception here is that this is not one nation under God. It never was. It would not have been. The Constitution would not have been written by Freemasons. They go against God. You cannot serve two masters. Praise be to God. Praise be to Jesus.
Here’s video and audio of the incident on the floor.

But the outburst continued even after she was dragged away from the podium. Our own Lynn Sweet, already hard at work tracking all the craziness of a topsy-turvy week in D.C., captured this exclusive video of Riedy still yelling far away from the presence of a microphone. Below that, find high-quality audio of the outburst.
It put a perfectly bizarre cap on a strange two weeks that we’ll likely get to repeat all over again in the cold, dark soul of winter.
