Political Quotes

On the recordApril 13, 1994
the other night Jay Leno, commenting on the $14,000 underpayment in the Clinton's taxes observed ``when the President does it, it's a discovery. When you do it, it's a felony.'' In this morning's Washington Post the liberal columnist, Richard Cohen wrote: There is a floor staring, stammering and juvenile quality to the way the Clintons reluctantly 'fess up. Whatever Whitewater and related matters might eventually be about-- maybe nothing--it is now about candor. The Clintons--not the press and not some right-wing Daddy Warbucks--have made it that. Maybe they think that since the truth and their preferred political image do not conform, its okay to monkey with the former to match the latter. The least the Clinton's could do is answer questions frankly: If they had done that from the beginning, Whitewater would be about an obscure land deal and not about the character of the first family.
