Grassley showing sense of humor

Iowa's Senator Grassley is on the budget committee where Kent Conrad, Democrat of North Dakota, chairs. Grassley wanted Conrad to include an amendment to a bill.

Grassley: I'd like to suggest to the chairman that he might want to support this because, you remember, you asked me two years ago not to take a vote on it and you said if we did take a vote on it you might not get your budget resolution adopted. So I did not ask for a vote on it and you said it was a very statesmanlike thing for me to at that particular time and so I would hope that you would return the the favor.

Conrad: You know, I used to like you. Let me just say: Oh, you are good.

Grassley: Well, your wife said the same thing.

The article I read this in comes with the title, "Senators get nasty: "You're Good"... "Your Wife Said The Same Thing"

Pretty misleading. These two guys like each other.
