Political Quotes

“What is really funny about this, there was an article that appeared in the New York Times yesterday. The French are masters at doing this kind of thing. They leak some things here. They leak some things there and tell you what, they have already explained what Chirac is going to tell us next week. Let me share with my colleagues and with my good friend from Hawaii what Chirac is going to be telling on this pulpit next Thursday. This is what he is going to say: The U.S. Government should not go into bankruptcy or default because it will seriously impact France's economy as well as other countries of Europe and the world for that matter. That is a real good line of instruction to our Republican friends. Second, Chirac is going to lecture the Congress and our President and the American people that our country is not paying enough to the crisis in Bosnia. Would you believe that? This is the kind of thing that we are going to get from this man. It is OK because this is what the French officials are already telling the world. This is unbelievable. Another thing, Chirac is also going to tell the Congress and our President that our country is not paying enough foreign aid to Third World nations.”
