Political Quotes

“I have not served in Congress nearly as long, of course, as the Senator from South Carolina, but during my term in Congress, which is now 18 years, there is no one that I have more admiration for than Senator Inouye. He has been like a father to me in the Senate. He has been an adviser and a confidant. He is someone for whom I have the deepest respect. I have followed, as have others, his war record. And that is what it is; he is certainly a warrior. I think it is wonderful that finally Senator Inouye is going to be recognized, as he should be, with the Congressional Medal of Honor. Even though Senator Inouye lost a limb, he does remarkable things. He plays the piano. With his wit and with a lot of humility, Senator Inouye asked Senator Hollings who had tied his tie that morning. Senator Hollings said he had had help doing that. Senator Inouye ties his tie himself with one arm.”
