On the recordSeptember 5, 2007
Senator McConnell and the entire Republican caucus have been so thoughtful regarding Senator Johnson's illness. There were things the Republican minority could have done to have taken advantage of the situation of his being ill. That was never done, not on one occasion. I appreciate that very much. I know Senator Johnson does. It speaks well for the Senate. I don't think I need to say more on that issue other than it is the right thing to do, but sometimes we try to take advantage of a situation politically. The Republican Senators did not do that, even though there would have been times it would have been to their advantage.
