Political Quotes

“I appreciate very much the chairman of the Judiciary Committee and the President pro tempore of the Senate saying those nice things about me. It is an honor to have gotten to know Pat Leahy so well. He has broken all records. My record is minimal compared to his in Vermont: the first Democrat elected and he has been in the Senate since 1972, a wonderful Senator and a good friend. I appreciate his words very much. I will mention, because I have here before, his lovely wife Marcelle is a nurse, and during my wife's travail with a terrible automobile accident and breast cancer--she is doing well and it appears she is beating both of those so far--Marcelle has done a lot of good things for my wife, with her nursing skills, calling and telling her what she is going through is what happens to a lot of people and she is going to be a lot better. I appreciate very much Senator Leahy, but also his lovely wife Marcelle. ____________________”
