Unbelievable.  Schweitzer's popularity just rose 5 points.   

 Rep. Michael Lange, R-Billings, told a meeting of fellow Republicans that the Democrats are negotiating like "Communist Russia" and "Red China," and that talks had reached an impasse. Then Lange launched into an attack on the governor, calling Schweitzer an "S.O.B."

Schweitzer, who was not present, was diplomatic in responding, saying he still respects Lange and plans to continue working with him. The governor said Lange was diplomatic during an early morning meeting in which tax legislation was discussed.

There was also a "stick it up ...." comment as well. 

The D's couldn't script this any better.
