Is this a big deal back home? I've been following it quite a bit lately.
If you're not aware, this past week Senater Al Franken cut Sen. Joe Lieberman off during a senate speech, citing that he only had ten minutes to talk due to time constraints. Sen. Lieberman appealed for a few extra "moments", and was denied. Sen. John McCain then is shown being very visibly upset that this has happened, stating he has "I don't know what's going on here, but I don't like it....I've never seen anything like it in the Senate."
Okay. Yesterday a transcript from 2002 was brought to light showing that he had, indeed, denied a member of the Senate (who was opposing the use of force to begin the war in Iraq, fyi) extra time to finish his speech (exact same thing which happened to Lieberman), yet video footage of it has miraculously disappeared. Should be interesting to see how it turns out.
