Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) got a little testy on the Senate floor Thursday and demanded other senators to "sit down and shut up" so Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) could finish her remarks.

HARRY REID: Madam President, have everyone sit down and shut up, okay? It's unfair. Senator Collins has something to say, it's just not polite.
