Arlen Specter: “It is all comparative. If I may direct this comment to Senator Reid…”

On the recordJanuary 26, 2006

It is all comparative. If I may direct this comment to Senator Reid, you haven't been to a Republican conference. No matter how dull it is, let me tell you, it is lively here. It is exciting here by comparison to what goes on in our Republican conference. I speak with authority because I just came from there. I thank my distinguished colleague and the Chair and yield the floor for some serious business because we have some speakers. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from North Carolina.
