“Can I just ask what the rules are? Can I ask what the rules are about interrupting? Mr. Bielat, please stop interrupting me. I’m not tense, but I find that the voters don’t like it when people interrupt each other. Mr. Bielat thinks complaining about interruptions is a debating tactic. It’s not. It’s really an effort to have things said that he might not like to be said. He distorts what I say.”

– Rep. Barney Frank, during a debate with his Republican challenger Sean Bielat.
