Political Quotes

“If my colleague will yield, let these remarks reflect as well, he is absolutely correct. We focus on New York, the World Trade Center, and the Pentagon. He is absolutely correct the people of Pennsylvania, those who lost their lives in that aircraft--we do not know the whole story, but many of us suspect that the people inside that plane played a very heroic role, and the fact we are standing in this building today debating these issues may very well be because some very heroic civilian Americans stood up and took on some people and saved countless other lives. That mark in Pennsylvania and those who responded to it deserve equal recognition. The Senator from Virginia is absolutely correct. I see my friend from North Carolina is about to speak, and since my friend from Michigan raised the issue of my newborn Grace, I must tell the Senator from North Carolina we received some wonderful little gifts for new Grace and all of them are cherished, but the Senator from North Carolina and his beloved Dot sent a little teddy bear which, if you extend it, it plays music. I want to tell the Senator I will forever be grateful to my colleague from North Carolina because I have tried all sorts of ways to quiet Grace down but nothing works like that little music box. I thank the Senator immensely for that token and gesture, and I thank his lovely wife as well. I say to my colleague from North Carolina, I thought of him many times at 3 this morning.”
