Eating while you work

I know the old Disney song is about whistling while you work, but House Republican Leader Christopher Rants of Sioux City not only ate while he worked yesterday, he ate while he talked on the House floor. 

Here's a two-and-a-half minut3 mp3 that starts with Rants, then you hear his bag of popcorn rustling.  The other voices in this snippet are those of Representative Mark Kuhn, a Democrat from Charles City, and Representative John Whitaker, a Democrat from Hillsboro who was acting as temporary Speaker of the House at the time.

The amendment Rants proposed was approved, by the way.
