Political Quotes

On the recordFebruary 17, 2011
I think that we need to start rethinking some of this. I can't help but think that campaign ads should just be played on the floor, get it out of everybody's system on this czar issue, and move on. But these are individuals that are carrying out their duties in the executive branch. If you want to vote against expanding opportunities for women and minorities in the media, then do an amendment on that. Why saw this guy's head off? Because some talk show host says so? So I think that this is poorly devised, poorly thought out, and does no grace to the House of Representatives.
