Stenographer Who Gave Freemasons Spiel Getting Mental Evaluation

Maybe it was just the stress of being around Congress?

A House of Representatives floor stenographer who stood before the dais ranting about Freemasons was taken to a hospital for evaluation, the U.S. Capitol Police said on Thursday.

The woman was hauled out of the chamber during Wednesday's late night vote on raising the debt ceiling and funding the federal government.

As the bill sailed toward final passage, the woman seized a microphone and began shouting in front of the presiding lawmaker, according to a C-SPAN video.
