I have an I.Q. of 100 plus a little bit. I have to work real hard to get things when I read.

I don't recall having a gun. I really don't. I don't think I ever pulled a gun on anyone in my life.

My father and all my uncles on both sides served in the military in World War II and Korea.

The American people do not want ambassadorships or any other position handed out to save a party money.

I've always been fond of the saying that when it comes to oversight and reform, the federal government does two things well: nothing and overreact.

It's very simple. If the American people care about a lot of things including corruption in government, then, in fact, if you use the power to appoint in order to do political business, to clear fields, to save your party money and so on, if it's not a crime - and I believe it is - it certainly is business as usual, politics of corruption.

You can call me a pain. I'll accept that as a compliment.
