I think we have a very interesting case study here. We have here on the floor of the Congress, under the ostensible notion of nonpartisanship or bipartisanship, a very clever and very lawyerly-like dissemination and dissection on technical figures of speech. Indeed, to be completely accurate, if we want to indulge in these types of statements, I would have to gently correct my friend from Michigan; because the accurate statement from the gentleman from Wisconsin was that he could not respect anyone testifying, as my friend from Georgia said. So we could be awash here in technicalities. But it is very instructive to listen to the tenure and tone of the preceding hour and indeed those characterizations that come to us, with apologies to Drew Pearson and Jack Anderson and others, in this Washington merry-go-round; because it sadly reduces to farce some very important concepts.
