Political Quotes

“Thank you, David. I would say to all of our former colleagues, how come you are all looking so much older? Actually, if David gives you a phone call, say yes. This was one of the greatest opportunities I think I have participated in in a long, long time. It was earlier this month, I went to Colby College up in Maine. I now live in Florida. The second call was to Sandy Maisel, who heads the political science department at Colby College. I asked him about the weather. I said, well, how about the ice report? He said they still have ice on the lakes, and we actually got almost a half of foot of snow the day we got there. Martin Lancaster from North Carolina was my colleague on this trip. Most of you know Martin, a fine guy, a great guy to travel with. He now is continuing his life in public service with some 800,000 students in North Carolina in the community college system. Professor Maisel had a lot of fun with that while we were there, reminding the folks in his neighboring State of Vermont that they only had 500,000 people, and Martin had more people in his college system than they had in the entire State. It was 2 days of fun.”
