The heckling and jeering was well-deserved, as Mr. Independent from Connecticut does indeed suck. He looked none too pleased by being bombed. I love this report by ace reporter Ellen Scott for WUSA.

Tonight some of the most powerful people in America met at the 99th Annual Alfalfa Club dinner. This club is made up of some of the most influential people in America, including President Obama. Occupy DC decided to show up to the meeting as well.
