Boucher Hates Boliek

Things also got a little testy between Virginia Democratic Rep. Rick Boucher and a reporter during a break in Wednesday’s House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Telecommunications and the Internet hearing.

Boucher and Hollywood Reporter’s Brooks Boliek got into a heated debate after Boliek went behind the dais to talk to Boucher about whether he planned to give up his coveted spot on the subcommittee.

“Staff asked him to get off the dais, which he did, but he continued to use colorful language,” one HOH tipster said of the incident, during which the pair exchanged more than one four-letter word.
