Democratic Rep. Caught Eating His Own Earwax

05.13.2014 | News | Jerome Hudson |

This one is not without irony.

It’s not everyday that you see a sitting United States Representative munching on his own earwax. And yet, that is precisely what Rep. Joe Garcia (D., Fla.) has been caught on camera doing.

During a House Judiciary Committee hearing, Rep. Garcia was listening to his colleague Rep. Suzan DelBene (D., Wash.) testify about government surveillance programs, when he got a sudden case of the munchies. Rep Garcia took his pinky finger, dug out a fresh earwax loogie, and chowed down.

If this is what Rep. Garcia is willing to do in public and on camera, I shudder to think of the bodily fluids this man consumes behind closed doors.
