On the recordSeptember 26, 1998
Recent events in Washington bring to mind nothing so much perhaps as the Bizarro World into which the comic book character Superman sometimes found himself, where everything is the opposite of reality, where ``is'' does not mean ``is,'' perjury does not mean telling a lie, and obstruction may not mean impeding or interfering with justice. Mr. Speaker, it is time we remind America that this is not the Bizarro World. This is the United States of America where ``is'' means ``is,'' ``truth'' means ``truth,'' perjury means telling a lie, and no man is above the law.
