I don't think a tough question is disrespectful.

I've always felt privileged to cover the White House and to have that ringside seat to history

I was in Independence, Missouri when Johnson signed the Medicare bill, with Truman standing there. Truman had first proposed Medicare, but couldn't get it through.

You cannot have a democracy without an informed people.

President Bush has asserted the right to wiretap and eavesdrop on any American without a warrant in the name of fighting terrorism. He has asserted presidential power beyond stated constitutional rights, and there is no Republican gutsy enough to call his hand.

You're only as good as your last story.
