I don't have the first idea why I was watching C-Span the night of April 1, 1992. My guess is that there was a Bruins game that had just ended and I was flipping around looking for something else on TV. But whatever the reason, I was fortunate enough to witness Congressman Joseph Early's meltdown on the house floor.
Now, C-Span has put over 20 years of their archives on the the web. So, if you missed it the first time or would like to relive the moment again, scroll ahead to the 379 minute mark of the embedded video and enjoy.
If you want to hear Congressman Early's speech in it's entirety, it starts at around 369:10.
