What a great precedent. Senator is speaking and up pops a company that issues a press release who can get a lackey, oops, mean another Senator to interrupt the first senator so he can read the press release.

I heard Boeing is lobbying against this. Maybe they can get a Senator to read THEIR press releases on the floor, too!
