4. How courageous

How touching that those in the chamber gave him a standing ovation as well.

Councilman, you did a great thing.

8. Wow - a real leader and stand-up guy. Don't see much of that

these days. I'd say there are about 520 members of Congress and at least 40 state governors who could learn a lesson in leadership from this guy.

9. I'd be really interested to know what those two sentences were that he skipped.

It was clearly tough for him to recall.

Very brave, Councilman. Well done.
