Political Quotes

On the recordMay 1, 2007
I had the good fortune of working with Senator Bill Frist for 4 years as a leader. He was a leader. There were times he and I had some political disagreements, and that is an understatement, but on a personal basis we had no misunderstandings. He was in public service for the right reason. He was a very fine, outstanding, nationally recognized transplant surgeon. He comes from a good family. He and I had many discussions, personal in nature. He was always available to anyone in the Senate. When there were any medical problems involved, he was always there to give advice and counsel. I went to him on many occasions about situations involving my friends and he would lay things out for me and head me in the right direction. At no time during my conversations with Senator Frist or in my dealings with Senator Frist did I ever have any doubt about his integrity.

Get rid of the filibuster, is nothing that as Brock Obama said, at John Lewis` funeral, it’s part of the leftovers from the days of the slave owners. You got to get rid of it. It’s very, very bad.
