That was Wauconda, Illinois, Tea Party Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL).

More like this

"Tax the rich"? Sir, you are a complete joker.--Said Mr. Walsh

So, does "Rep." mean Representative, or Republican, or some amalgamation of the two, or something else entirely?

The "Rep" means "Representative" as in House Of, and the R over on the right next to his state is Republican.

As opposed to, say, Minnesota, Progressive Sen. Al Frankin (D-MN) for example.
