Republican House Majority Leader Michael Lange made the comments Wednesday after leaving a meeting with Democratic Gov. Brian Schweitzer. Lange was speaking to a room of House Republicans, with reporters and a television camera present.
He said Schweitzer could "go straight to hell" and called the governor an "S.O.B."
The tirade attracted more than 17,000 views on YouTube and stalled talks to draft a state budget.
"I'm pissed off at that S.O.B. on the second floor that thinks he is going to run this state like a dictator," Lange said after comparing Democrats to "Communist Russia" and "Red China."
Lange, waving his arms with his face turning red, then shouted: "My message to the governor is stick it up your a--."
I think he was trying to channel Howard Beale but it obviously came out as a pale imitation of Howard Stern instead.
