Hinchey assaults reporter

In what would be a career ending exhibition for most politicians, Ithaca's leftist congressman turned violent at a League of Woman Voters debate last night.  The issue was corruption:

When Kemble persisted, Hinchey told him: “Shut up!”

After the shooters turned off their cameras and started to break down, Hinchey made a beeline for Kemble and got in his face, according to a YNN videographer who was on the scene. The congressman poked Kemble in the chest aggressively, according to the YNN staffer.
