“I thank the gentleman for speaking. We are going to give the two gentlemen here a chance to express their love for one another. Mr. Speaker, I have watched Louie Gohmert for a long time. So much could be said about him. So much has been said about him; some of it is even true. Having Louie for one of my very good friends gives me status. You know, I had a friend in the fifth grade that gave me the measles, and this is a lot better deal, let me just tell you that. Louie has got a great sense of humor. He is a great patriot. He is a great Christian. We all know that. We have seen him stand for our biblical values time and time and time again. Maybe it sounds a little archaic or a little corny, I don't know, but I think of Roosevelt and his great speech. And it is called ``The Man in the Arena'' because, Mr. Speaker, it does apply to Louie Gohmert. He is in our arena. He is our fighter. I remind folks President Roosevelt said: ``It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles; or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.…”
