Mike Simpson actually said...

"Is America less civil than it was a hundred years ago?"

"The reason I ask the question is we hear all the time that Congress, since we are in Congress, is more uncivil than it has ever been."

"Your service in the House is noteworthy for many legislative achievements, but to me your enduring legacy remains your unfailing sense of humility and civility."

"I have been a long-time supporter of both the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities."
