The Public Record

I am pleased to join in a colloquy with the senior Senator from Kansas, and my chairman on the Helsinki Commission, Mr. Brownback. We are united in believing the subject we will address is of great importance to this body. I appreciate my…
I like Joe Wilson, the man who was the target of the wrath of somebody in the administration. But he didn't vote for me in '92, he voted for former President Bush. And he said so publicly. He's a career diplomat. He didn't deserve to have…

You don't want to go here, Peter. Not after what you people did, and the way you, your network, what you did with Kenneth Starr, the way your people repeated every little sleazy thing he leaked. No one has any idea what that's like. That's…
And I will go to my grave being at peace about it, and I don't really care what they think.
As I once said to a friend of mine about three days before the election -- and I heard all these terrible things -- I said, You know, am I the only person in the entire United States of America who likes both George W. Bush and John Kerry…
I do what I can to help Hillary, because I'm really proud of her, and...
