More Democrat Civility on Display: "My name's Dr. Multimillionaire and I kicked your ass"

Democrat Civility on Display is a regular feature of Gold-Plated Witch on Wheels.

The quote in the headline is from this post at the Raw Story:

According to conservative columnist Robert Novak, a freshman Democratic Congressman confronted the top GOP election strategist nicknamed "Bush's Brain" in a White House bathroom, and taunted him for failing to beat him in November.

But in a statement released on Friday, the White House dismissed the report as "ridiculous."

"Newly elected Rep. Steven Kagen, a rich allergist who self-financed his campaign in Wisconsin, by his own account taunted President and Mrs. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and presidential adviser Karl Rove during a White House function for new members of Congress in December," Novak writes...

"You're in the White House and you think you're safe," Kagen allegedly said. "My name's Dr. Multimillionaire and I kicked your ass."

And these are the same people complaining at a well-placed epithet from the Vice President to Patrick Leahy.

UPDATE: Dana questions the validity of the story based on the fact that the White House denies it. But Betsy has an interesting point about the story:

So we're left with two choices. The guy is a churl and proud of it. Or the guy is a liar who enjoys making up stories about his own imagined rude grandiosity and bragging about how he was deliberately rude to the Mrs. Bush. Charming either way.

Yes, indeed.
