The Public Record
American television host and politician (born 1963)
But these servers will also be able to provide the restaurant owners in the future services that will allow them just to pipe in music by BMI or just to pipe in music by ASCAP. And that technology is available today and certainly will be…
I am not afraid of an arbitration process, and I like the McCollum idea that we are actually taking it out of New York and moving it across the country. What I fear is that the gentleman is setting up an arbitration system that has…
The gentleman from Missouri said something needs to be done, he said that the property rights need to be protected, he said that they need to do something, and yet he was talking about endorsing an amendment that is a black-and-white, an…
Last night, again I met one of the gentleman's constituents, Shawn Colvin. Now, Shawn Colvin just won a Grammy, and everybody thinks she is at the top of the world because she won the Grammy. I saw her last night, she was in a dressing…
I do not think it is they. I think it is a very small number of people in Washington, D.C. Because again, people that own the restaurants in my district understand. I have talked to them about this. I would not come on the floor without…
This is an issue that was very important to Sonny Bono, and in fact is one of the issues that he talked about the most when he was here on Capitol Hill, because Sonny understood, he had been struggling his whole life to create songs, to…
All day my Democrat friends have spoken of the treacherous waters our country would be thrown into should this impeachment resolution pass and the matter be sent to the Senate, and while today's debate is momentous and its historical…
I just hope that one Democrat will have the moral courage to stand up and break through and step forward and be a hero, like Howard Baker, a Republican Senator, who back during the Watergate hearings had the guts to stand up and say, "What…
And the White House and Justice Department will do absolutely nothing, will they? Will not lift their finger to bring these possible international fugitives to justice because of what it might do to the White House; is that correct?
One area, though, where obviously I have been in disagreement with several friends on the other side of the aisle and that many of us have found disagreement with many of the other Members on the other side of the aisle has to do with some…
Who is making the money? It is certainly not Main Street, it is Wall Street. ... we are having a crisis of the American spirit that F.D.R. warned about 50, 60 years ago.
As the New York Times wrote in an editorial on September 10, 1997, yesterday's testimony yet again punctures the fiction that the abuses that occurred were solely the responsibility of the Democrat Party and not the White House. That is…
Did the gentleman just say that a man who had his passport seized because he was a felon was invited to the White House even after we seized his passport? What I am saying is, is the gentleman saying that basically the standard of getting…
Since I do not have a subpoena and have not been drinking Washington, DC, tap water, I can remember. Yes, I will admit here that I have had a speeding ticket.
Buy influence and muscle his way into the White House. The New York Times wrote, ``He,'' the international fugitive ``was affirming that in the shadowy reaches of the international business world it was believed accurately that during the…
I thought the race-baiting a few nights ago was bad, but yesterday they raised the ugly specter of anti-Semitism and that somehow we were unfeeling toward the Jews to observe this very, very holy holiday, which of course we were not, and…
My point would be if that gentleman came to this floor talking about the need to clean up campaign finance, I would be the first one to come to this floor telling him that he is acting shamelessly, telling him to get off the floor of this…
Would the bill that they speak of erase the abuses that the New York Times reported today this morning when it said, Democrats Skimmed $2 Million To Aid Candidates?
But still structurally again, there is a question on whether we would want a single judge being able to sign off on that, because by this single judge doing that, he has put himself in the middle of a 3-year budget debate that seriously…
The gentleman is correct. It certainly makes for good drama when we talk about a single judge eradicating the popular will of 5 million people. But the same thing could be said about, again, a decision, to be really honest with the…
But, as my colleagues know, if the gentleman could give me a little historical perspective as a relatively new Member here, I believe that they were all in the majority in 1993 and 1994, and I also believe that they had somebody in the…
And you would be called a bigot because you do not sit back and say absolutely nothing. Again it is not an issue of intolerance, it is not an issue of whether I am going to judge somebody for the life they live. That is up to them. That is…
I am offended by the continued double standard that appears to be occurring in this Chamber where just 2 hours ago a Republican Member was mentioned by name several times and the Speaker did absolutely nothing... I have seen this occur for…
I am distressed to vote in such a way that would deny U.S. Federal judges the COLA's that I believe that they deserve. Unfortunately, because judges have been lumped together with politicians on Capitol Hill, I have no other choice but to…
Because I am a little confused here, Mr. Speaker, because for a year and a half I have been hearing about how the Republicans have cut too much. Now tonight I am being reeducated, and I find out that we are not cutting enough. Can the…
Politicians like Joe Scarborough
