He was my favorite senator... I love him. He made the liberals squeal.

If Communism goes, I've still got the U.S. House of Representatives.

It is hard to write about politicians, see them at such close range, and still think of any of them as heroes.

Where once such devices were relegated to appropriate times, now they've become necessities. The other day I watched a kid come off the school bus listening to music on his headphones, oblivious to the traffic zooming past him. And I can't even begin to count the times I've thought pet owners were talking to their dogs while taking them for a walk when, in reality, they were blabbing on their cell phones. It's a different level of use than we've seen in the past, ... It's becoming more of a full-day listening experience as opposed to just when you're jogging.

The whole new Democratic Party is the old Republican Party. We have a whole bunch of elephants running around in donkey's clothes.

I was kind of feeling a spiritual need all those years. My wife Geraldine and I went to an Episcopalian Church for a while. Oh, it just seemed very political to me that a guy so liberal was talking about opposing the war in Vietnam and I didn't want to hear that when I went to church. I wanted something spiritual.
