For about a month after he did that bullshit, I used NITBAFS as j/k.

And then, rarely, when I was serious, it was just, ITBAFS.

But yes, Jon Kyl damaged the whole american system by doing that.
I wouldn't mind a law that anything that is said on the floor of the house/senate cannot be UTTER bullshit.

We have censure, which is a slap on the wrists really and requires a majority anyway. I believe you have something similar. Here at the very least a minority politician saying something like that would end up having it on the record that parliament had given them a slap on the wrist for what they said.

Did anything happen to him?

To my knowledge no, nothing happened to him.
He is GOP, and at the time he said it, GOP controlled the house. So majority party power protection.

Then again, Charlie Rangel, didn't pay his taxes while being in charge of the 'ways and means' committee, and all he got was the slap on the wrist censure.

Congress ain't big on imposing rules on congress; I am Jack's total lack of surprise.
