This isn’t unprofessional. This is nega-professional: if it ever touches any professionalism then Ohio will abruptly become an Atlantic beachfront state*.
Short version if you haven’t heard it yet: Sheila Jackson Lee announced on Wednesday that Democrats had never tried to impeach the President, despite the fact that she was a co-sponsor of a bill to impeach the President. PJ Tatler called up to inquire about that, and the results were apparently epic:
I was transferred to a gentleman on Lee’s staff. When I again asked him about the contradiction and stated that perhaps I was confused, the man said “Oh look it here, we have one of those right wing, tea-bagger nut jobs on the phone taking his cues from FOX News.”
He then accused me of being un-American, raising his voice at me while asking me to calm down, and telling me that I am just on some mission to destroy our country. When I calmly asked for his name, he said “I don’t have to give it to you because I don’t want to show up on some right wing blog and be on your Twitter account.” Keep in mind, I never said who I was – he just made assumptions and attacked me. When I reminded him that he gets paid by our tax dollars, he said “I doubt you even pay taxes and the IRS will find you soon enough,” and hung up on me.
Pro-tip for any Democratic staffers that may be reading: don’t do this. There will be internal calls made about this incident, because it is in the vested interest of all Congressional offices that none of them get the reputation of threatening to sic the IRS on people who call them. Don’t be that bad example.

*Because the entire Eastern Seaboard would blow up… oh, never mind. It’s a geek joke and leave it at that.
Wow. That’s… special. Good for Sheila for hiring homeless screamers off the streets.
But wouldn’t that set off a chain reaction with Nega-Ohio (from your Big Famous Map)?
You know, there’s not much on the Eastern Seaboard that I’d actually miss.
But it would be a shame to lose our host.
These people still haven’t figured out how to cope with the Internet. The highest-rated comment there has the name of the asshat that refused to give his, plus his phone number and salary.
If you notice their hypocrisy, you’re a racist.

“Because the entire Eastern Seaboard would blow up” – And this would be a bad thing how?
All my stuff is here.
