But that ``it'' cost a half a million dollars and we cannot see it. This morning's Washington Post has a clarification of what the Speaker said about the ``it'' in it. And I hope that everybody reads it, because while the Speaker said one thing on NBC, this morning's Washington Post clarifies that and sets out the different complaints that have been filed and what has happened to them. I think it is very sad we cannot talk about ``it'' on the floor. Especially since the taxpayers paid for ``it.'' And if I were a taxpayer, I think I would be angry and wondering what in the world is going on when the House Floor has been gagged from talking about the most important thing we could have in front of us.
