Political Quotes

“I join in commending the majority leader for his decision in naming Greg Casey as our new Sergeant at Arms. It is an outstanding decision, and again I think it reflects well on the majority leader and the sort of individuals that he is surrounding himself with to carry out these very, very, critical issues and functions relating to this institution. I have known Greg Casey for many, many years. We attended the University of Idaho together in the mid-1970's. In fact, it was at the University of Idaho that I had the honor to serve as student body president. I must acknowledge that Senator Craig also had the distinction of serving as student body president at the University of Idaho. It was in that capacity that I named Greg Casey to fill a vacancy that was on the student senate. One of the things that I have always admired about Greg Casey is his devotion to what has to be done, his devotion at that time to the university, to the State, and as I have seen him in this atmosphere, his absolute devotion to this country. We have named a patriot, now, to be the Sergeant at Arms of this institution. He is an individual who brings great enthusiasm to anything he does, a great energy level. He is an individual who brings innovation to everything he touches. I know whenever his tenure as Sergeant at Arms is complete he will be regarded as truly one of the best Sergeants at Arms that the U.S. Senate in its history ever had. He also has the ability to stick to it.”
