It's getting ugly...

1:25 p.m.

Perzel tried to give a speech from the floor about why he would be the best candidate.

As speaker, Perzel was promising to split control of the committees evenly between the parties when DeWeese shouted him down, arguing he was out of order.

"You can't stop reform Mr. DeWeese," barked Perzel from across the chamber.

That drew howls from Democratic members.
