Religious Rant on the floor of the House of Representatives in October of 2013

Religious speech is usually predictable and boring.  We know what our minister is likely to say in his sermon or at a funeral.  We know what types of prayers will be uttered at prayer breakfasts, city council meetings, and Presidential inauguration ceremonies. But once in a while spontaneous and unusual religious speech occurs and it gets our attention.  One such instance took place on the floor of the House of Representatives in October of 2013.  The federal government had been shut down because the two parties could not agree on spending priorities and there was no longer any legal authority to spend tax dollars.  Eventually an agreement was reached and House members were voting on the proposed legislation.  During the voting Diane Reidy, a stenographer for the House of Representatives, interrupted the proceedings with a loud religious rant against the legislation. She walked up to the podium and angrily said things concerning the devil and freemasons.  The meaning of her rant was unclear. She said, quoting Jesus, "You cannot serve two masters [God and money]."  She was removed by Capitol Hill police and taken to a hospital for a mental health evaluation.  For more information go to http://www.mediaite.com/tv/fox-news-ids-reports-new-details-on-stenographer-who-went-on-bizarre-rant-on-house-floor/ and watch the video below.
