This may not seem like a big deal to many, but as one who watches Senate process closely, I believe that this seemingly minor exchange is a symptom of how stressed the US Senate is regarding health care reform and Senator Joseph Lieberman‘s role.
Minnnesota Senator Al Franken shut down Lieberman who wanted a “moment” to finish his remarks and asked “unanimous consent” to be able to do so.
Franken refused to play along.
Fascinating.
