I don't think a tough question is disrespectful.

I'm a liberal, I was born a liberal, and I will be a liberal 'til the day I die.

We are the only institution in our society that can question a president on a regular basis and make him accountable. Otherwise, he could be king.

The day Dick Cheney is going to run for president, I'll kill myself. All we need is another liar... I think he'd like to run, but it would be a sad day for the country if he does.

I respect the office of the presidency, but I never worship at the shrines of our public servants...The Washington press corps has the privilege of asking the president of the United States what he is doing and why.

All presidents rail against the press. It goes with the turf.

I have a background and an understanding of what's happened in the Middle East that a lot of people don't have, because there's been no interest.
