“summer is over, schools are open, the kids are back, reading, writing and arithmetic. There are a lot of ideas kicking around about how best to teach to our children. One creative, yet controversial, idea in Houston asked math problems using street examples about drug dealers and guns and prostitution and murder and so forth. Maybe that idea was a bad one, but we could try some political questions. For example, if illegally using White House phones, Al raises $30,000 a call from Democrat fat cats, how long does it take him to raise an illegal $120,000? If Al reimbursed the taxpayers $24.20 for raising the $120,000, how much profit does he make? If Bill rents the Lincoln Bedroom for $100,000 a night, how many nights does he have to rent it to raise a million dollars? If the Clinton appointees state under oath ``I can't recall'' once a second, how long would it take them before we have heard it one trillion times? You know, the Democrats are real upset about campaign finance reform. It is about like asking Mike Tyson to lead a fair-fighting commission. It is absurd, Mr. Speaker. Let us start looking at the White House if we want to talk campaign finance reform.”
