Quote:
Tiririca said he was "ashamed" of his colleagues' behaviour and would return to being a full-time clown.
In his first speech since he was elected in 2010, Tiririca, whose stage name means Grumpy, said he was saddened by what he had seen in the lower house of congress.
"Everyone knows that we're paid well to work, but not everyone does work. There are 513 deputies, only eight come regularly. And I'm one of those eight, and I'm a circus clown."
In his eight-minute speech, he admitted that he had "not done much" during his almost seven years as a lawmaker, but he said: "At least I was here."
Tiririca has been very popular with voters. Campaigning under the slogan "It can't get any worse", he won 1.3 million votes in 2010, more than any other candidate in that election.

America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.
