Now I'm not smart enough to figure out how they do this.
12 A Rule 1 the chair declares —
Oops, let's stop there.
It's some kind of a thing called Skype
where you can get on TV and communicate so —
I suggest absence of a quorum.
Congratulations this is the first time at least when I am speaking on the floor
that you were in the chair. Is it the first time you're in the chair madam president?
Can't answer, I know. Let the record show she nodded her head in an
affirmative way.
Unfortunately the chickens are coming home to roost.
May I tell you about the raven. If you haven't seen a raven they're quite large.
I know something about chickens coming home to roost. I used to raise chicken.
They're what you call a
Arnold Schwarzenegger crow
They can beat the bejesus out of an eagle,
which is very strange.
This is what people don't like about this town.
I had one for a pet Mr. Chairman and quite interesting he could talk better than
any parrot and was one of my buddies.
Unfortunately there was a young boy with
a slingshot, that got my raven
and I got the boy so
that's a long story that I will tell you about
I didn't make any headdress out of him, I can tell you that.
... to revise and extend their remarks and include ...
material.
Got a text and I don't have anybody else to tell so I'm going to
tell everyone here I have a new kid a grandchild and it's our 16th grandchild.
Congratulations but your speech is not germane until they become a 4th grader in the territory.
This month Senator Duckworth made history when she gave
birth to her beautiful daughter Maile Pearl.
I think it will do us good in the
United States Senate every once in a while to see a pacifier next to the
antique inkwells on our desk.
No there will not be wardrobe requirements of the baby,
and no we do not believe the baby will be required to wear a Senate pin.
or a diaper bag next to one of these brass spittoons which sits on the floor thank goodness never used.
I do have to correct him on one thing however he talked about
diaper bags, they don't use diaper bags anymore,

because I've got 20 kids and grandkids
There's a number of I think staff members that are only here because their parents
have to subsidize their lifestyle.
...to come to the Hill and maybe someday have
the dream of not living in a group home.
Right? Let's aspire to greatness here
Thank you appreciate your testimony as a former staffer and a current member of a
group home here in Washington DC.
I aspire too —
My wife comes the DC and will
not stay in my apartment let's just put it to you that way.
Barbara Bush was a
very independent lady.
As we walked along Barbara Bush turned to President Bush
and said 'George, you've got on the wrong pants!'
He had his suit coat on from one
suit and he had pants on from another suit.
'You go on back in and change
clothes and Lamar and I will wait here for you.'
Who's that girl? That girl was Louise Slaughter.
Tom Jones had a song "She's a Lady"
Louise Slaughter was that lady
except none of the other lyrics of that song were appropriate for Louise
Louise was the life of the party. I'm telling you we would get down to the
Democratic club and she would hold court. She'd walk in and I would say 'all rise!'
'Louise is arriving!'
As a person who doesn't have a husband nobody's ever
wanted to marry me.
Paul you promised to find me a husband you didn't do it.
Another broken promise of the Republicans
Well I am ... I'm the Republican
on the program finishing last,
which is exactly how Louise Slaughter would have wanted it.
