that's andy kaufman in a great costume. because who says this?for talking like this. then he went on to the floor of the council wearing his toronto argonauts jersey. they were very disappointed. it is the playoffs. and the councillors turned their backs on him. he does this manic mood swing. he has the impulse control of a 13-year-old boy with that first press conference. that line, it seemed like he worked that line out before he came. on it wasn't extemporaneous. a few hours later he changes out of jersey and apologizes. >> let's play the apology here. here's that. >> i want to apologize for my graphic remarks this morning. yesterday i mentioned it was the second worst day of my life except for the death of my father. for the past six months, i have been under tremendous tremendous, tremendous stress. the stress is largely of my own making. i have apologized and i have tried to move forward. this has proven to be almost impossible. >> so what happens next here in there are 500 pages of police reports in which a lot of these allegations that he

org organizational details were left vague, how the money was spent, who would call the shots, tim kaufmanng the shots. they had alienated a lot of people on the hill with their aggressive, sharp elbow tactics. the elders at heritage foundation kind of woke up one day and realized that the organization has radically changed. >> that's what your piece brings out, the tension between the elders and this sort of new guard. what's interesting to me is, i think this sort of illustrates a challenge that more broadly faces the right. when you look at heritage, you can say politically, obviously, the shutdown was a disaster for the conservative movement and the republican party. traditionally, the role of heritage is this sort of role of policy ideas for the conservative movement. that might be changing. at the same time, leading this charge to defund obama care has meant a windfall in terms of grass root donations for heritage and other groups like it. how do people reconcile those two things. with the grassroots, they can turn and make an appeal and bring in big money even if they are not doing

sir general kaufman. kerry and all of the others involved in achieving this important agreement. we hope it will lead to iran reentering the international community, who will ameliorate oppressive aspects to their internal policies. will the gentleman point out to the prime minister of israel who said nuclear weapons was the most dangerous weapon in the world, and he should know because he is a stockpile of several hundred nuclear warheads and the missiles with which to deliver them and refuses to sign the nuclear nonproliferation treaty. damageempt in any way to or attack this agreement will be opposed or unexceptionable. discourage any country from seeking to undermine the agreement. i have not seen any sign that any country will in any practical way. every country in the world understands how serious that would be. there may be those who disagree of the agreement. it was made by the five permanent members of the u.n. security member and i believe it will be given its chance. >> thank you, mr. speaker. i agree with mark fitzpatrick, a who isration expert often backed what israe

my wife ran into one of her colleagues the other day, ted kaufman. he was the interim senator, succeeded joe biden and held down that slot for two years until senator chris coons was elected on his own not that long ago. one of the things i loved about ted, every month he would come to the floor and he would talk about a different federal employee. sometimes i've heard our colleagues, other people talk about federal employees or state and local employees as nameless, faceless bureaucrats. in a derisive way, unflattering, uncomplimentary and i suspect dispiriting. and the foacts who serve in federal government or state and local government do so usually not because it pays a lot of money, because they get huge bouquets and a lot of credit, they just want to do something constructive with their lives. but ted used to do that every month. he'd come to the floor. so this is like a shoutout to him because i heard about a fellow in delaware who decided to step down after a great career of public service and i want to take a few minutes if i could to talk a
