House customs allow the speaker to complete his comments. Point of clarification already addressed on the floor.

Apparently, the leaders get to talk as long as they want. Waxman challenged him to the chair, and the chair said it’s the custom of the House to let the leaders talk as long as they want! Hell, might as well use the time, especially since we’ll get a second crack at killing this Communist garbage in the Senate.
