I think that everyone is kind of confused about the information they get from the media and rightly so. I'm confused about the information I get from the media.

It would seem that the Watergate story from beginning to end could be used as a primer on the American political system.

I think the problem in the Republican Party is really not money. I think they've got lots of it. I think it is theory of the case - why are we here, what is our message, how to connect to the real world.

We need to police ourselves in the media.

I don't think voters give a hoot about the character of their political advisors, except to the extent that character reflects on the candidates.

The legislator learns that when you talk a lot, you get in trouble. You have to listen a lot to make deals.

The failure of the system to deal quickly was attributable to Nixon's lying, stonewalling and refusal to come clean. So it took 26 months for the final truth to be known.
