Judd Gregg Goes Ballistic During MSNBC Appearance

Judd Gregg (R-NH) blew up at a couple of MSNBC news anchors earlier today after they asked him to offer specific budgetary items he would cut to reduce the deficit.

After stating that the country must "control the rate of growth of government," Gregg accused the network's Contessa Brewer and Melissa of being "irresponsible" and "duplicitous" when they pressed him to elaborate.

When Francis said his position sounded "good in theory," Gregg got hot. Really hot.

"That's not theory. Don't tell me that's good in theory," he said.

Check out the video below to watch the entire exchange. It's not everyday that a United States Senator loses it on prime time TV.
