Earl Blumenauer accused of talking trash on House floor by Republican Dan Lungren

<snip>

Blumenauer: "It's a little interesting when we hear our friends come to the floor with the same talking points. My good friend from California talks about the government takeover of health care, which of course, PolitiFact called the 2010 political lie of the year. Allowing 33 million additional Americans to have access to ..."

Lungren: "Point of order, Mr. Speaker."

The Speaker Pro Tempore: "State your point."

Lungren: "The gentleman made a personal reference to me stating that I made a statement on the floor and then called that the biggest lie of the year. Is that in fact an appropriate comment to be made on the floor during debate?"

Blumenauer: "Mr. Speaker, it's not ..."

The Speaker: "The gentleman will suspend. The gentleman from California has not stated a point of order. Would you proceed to state the point?"

Lungren: "I would make a point of order that the gentleman has made a personal reference to me and followed that up by saying that what I said was a lie."

The Speaker: "Is the gentleman demanding the words be taken down?"

Lungren: (after an extremely long pause as his reptilian eyes roll back into his head for several seconds) "Not at this time, Mr. Speaker. But I would ask that the Speaker would admonish members not to question the motivation of other members in reference to any debate that's taken place."

Blumenauer: "Mr. Speaker, I would suggest that the people listen to what I said."

The Speaker: "The gentleman from Oregon will proceed."

Blumenauer: "What I said was, he claimed the government takeover of health care, and I said, which was judged by PolitiFact, an independent effort, the Republican claim of government takeover was the 2010 lie of the year. Now, if the gentleman feels uncomfortable with that ..."

Lungren: (objecting) "I ask that the words be taken down."
