Barred From Speaking Because He Spoke The Truth?

I didn't know that the House did not permit its members to speak truth to each other.

Under what circumstances is it possible for them to shut people up this way? No wonder you never see, in the hallowed (ahem!) halls of Congress, a tenth of the shenanigans that you often see in the parliaments of other nations!

On the other hand, if people were allowed to speak their minds, given the corrupt gang of crooks and liars currently remaining in the Augean stables, mass bitchslappings might result in a die-off in Congress, further contributing to the waste disposal problem.

Stumble It!
