Political Quotes

“it is very clear from today's Washington Post story that William Kennedy III, associate counsel at the White House, should resign today. The story indicates clearly that he failed to pay his taxes. The story indicates clearly that when he did pay part of his taxes, he did so in his wife's former maiden name, the only occasion on which they ever used the name, and while he denies having done that to avoid the FBI background check, it is a very peculiar circumstance. The story goes on to say that only in the middle of a divorce proceeding has he in the last 3 weeks decided that he actually should pay his back taxes, because it has become public. The last thing this country needs is to have an associate counsel to the President of the United States who has failed to pay his taxes and who has acted in ways designed to ensure that the FBI does not know what he was doing, and I think that for public good and for the White House's good that Mr. Kennedy should resign today.”
