Harry Reid: “Well, I didn't. I can only comment on what I read in the papers. But I know when somebody's ear is bitten, as Tyson did…”

Well, I didn't. I can only comment on what I read in the papers. But I know when somebody's ear is bitten, as Tyson did to Holyfield, and it is unfair; that is what happened here today. I am not a member of the Judiciary Committee, but I am not going to let this go on being unannounced. We are on a Labor-HHS bill, and we are getting a lot of pressure to do something about it. Here we have a campaign speech in the middle of this bill, and that isn't fair.
