"I've been around here 20-some years. First time I've ever seen a member denied an extra minute or two to finish his remarks. And I don't like it."
-- Sen. John McCain, complaining about Sen. Al Franken's objection to extra time for Sen. Joe Lieberman, December 17, 2009

"I object."
-- Senator John McCain, denying Sen. Mark Dayton extra time, October 10, 2002

"I object."
-- Sen. John McCain, denying Sen. Robert Byrd extra time, a few minutes later

I'll bet politicians hate the online world for how rapidly it can prove they talk out of both sides of their mouth. I guess I misheard the original, I thought it was Franken asking for a little extra time, and someone else shut him down.
