Maxine Waters: Rock Star

Have you ever seen a politician come back to the stage for an encore? Well, Maxine Waters did. During a passionate and poetic speech, Waters announced repeatedly:

I am the chair of the Out Of Iraq Caucus and I am committed to ending this war!

But what brought the house down was this refrain:

Not another nickel
Not another dime
Not another soldier
Not this time

After she left the stage the crowd chanted "Maxine! Maxine! Maxine!"

And she literally came back out for an encore to thunderous aplause and repeated the chant. Amazing.
