Rep. Weldon's railing against so-called conspiracies and political tricks sounds an awful lot like Philadelphia's City Hall in 2003.

Another thorn in Well-done's side?

Scores of veterans turn out to blast out-of-touch Weldon on his un-American, anti-military remarks.
Panicked Weldon in bunker mode, cancels public appearances, orders congressional staffers to take vacation and work at campaign for free.
