Reclaiming my time. Mr. Speaker, does the gentleman remember when Joe Wilson apologized, which is more than what my friend from Massachusetts has done when the House has condemned him from the Chair today? I remember when my friend Mr. Wilson lost his temper. I do remember it. And I remember him apologizing for it because he didn't want to bring shame on this institution. I would welcome any time the Chair admonishes either side of the aisle for violating our rules, coarsening our debate, doing those things that we all agree we don't want our children to see on TV, I welcome folks to correct that behavior. Mr. Speaker, I fear my comments are falling on deaf ears, but I hope I am mistaken. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time. Parliamentary Inquiry
