“my father, Harry Joseph Dornan, who is the hero of my life, died 21 years ago today. He would be tormented today, as I am, by the lack of character and integrity at the highest level of our Government. Mr. Speaker, he took me and my brothers into the Oval Office in 1941, and he held the White House and its occupant in a certain awe and respect. Even liberal writers say that the White House has been dragged down to the street level over the last 3 years. Last night, amidst that snow job, Mr. Clinton did it again. He put heroes in the gallery trying to reflect in their honor and glory, and that is not possible when Paula Corbin Jones is going to get her day in court. And then he put a hero in this front row who, like my dad, he was wounded three times fighting for freedom, Barry McCaffrey, the general who was told in the White House 2 years and 10 months ago, "We don't talk to people in uniform here." Barry McCaffrey will be a superb drug czar, but when Clinton pointed out that he had three Purple Hearts and two Silver Stars, he could not gag out the word "Vietnam."”
