“You actually act like you are enjoying it. We have done a lot. This has been a pretty productive year, but at least a good number on our side say with respect to delay, one of the delays that occurs now in the Senate is the delay on this investigation and the end of the investigation, and the investigation has found nothing on the issue of this contested Senate election. We hope that we will get beyond that and get on with the business and not have that hanging over the head of Senator Landrieu or the people of Louisiana. So our point is this: Let's continue with the Senate business. Let's pass these appropriations bills, get them to the President, get them signed. That is the regular order. Let's also resolve this issue with the Louisiana election. It is now September. It is not March or April or July. It is September, and it is long past the time when that should have been resolved.”
