Sen. Arlen Specter, during a tense radio conversation with Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann, told Bachmann to "act like a lady" rather than interrupt him.
Bachmann, a Minnesota Republican, spoke at length on Pittsburgh's 1210 AM with host Dom Giordano. When Specter, a Democrat from Pennsylvania, started to respond, Bachmann interjected.
Specter asked her to "stop interrupting," to which Bachmann responded, "I didn't interrupt you."
"Now, wait a minute, I'll stop and you can talk," Specter said. "I'll treat you like a lady. Now act like one."
"Well, I am a lady," Bachmann replied.
The two continued to bicker, and Specter again asked her to "act like a lady." She again said she was a lady.
"I think you are too, that's why I'm treating you like one," Specter said. "But just don't interrupt me."
