Here's the synopsis: Joe Lieberman is giving a floor speech which spills past the ten minute mark. Al Franken, sitting in the chair, tells Lieberman his ten minutes has expired. Lieberman requests unanimous consent for another minute to finish his remarks. Franken objects, stunning Lieberman. John McCain then howls at Franken has destroyed the "comity" of the U.S. Senate because he's never seen anythign like it before. Carl Levin tells John McCain the same thing happened just a few hours earlier. McCain then grumbles.
All in all, something of a cathartic moment. Thank you, Al!
Join the discussion in danktle's diary, Franken to Lieberman: Shutup.
