AG Anand Ram­lo­gan in his wind-up of the 'Ish and Steve' De­bate ad­mon­ished the leader of the Op­po­si­tion for ridi­cul­ing the speech im­ped­i­ment of Jack Warn­er and he went so far as to apol­o­gise to all those who ex­pe­ri­ence a sim­i­lar af­flic­tion like Jack and would have been of­fend­ed. But then Jack al­ways makes very rib­ald ref­er­ence to Colm Im­bert's height to the rol­lick­ing de­light of the Gov­ern­ment bench. One day when the AG and oth­ers on the Govt bench stop laugh­ing at Jack's ridi­cul­ing of Colm Im­bert's height, the AG should apol­o­gise to all the short peo­ple that Jack may have of­fend­ed.
