Earlier this year, Rep. Jason Chaffetz was confronted by a loud and angry electorate at a town hall asking him to, among other things, do his job. He dismissed them as being paid protesters.
Now, as the picture of Chaffetz scooting through a doorway with his foot in a cast on his way to overturn the Affordable Care Act becomes an internet meme, it must be refreshing for him to realize that he can look like a complete tool without any money changing hands.
