Political Quotes

“Madam President, over the weekend, our friend the distinguished Senator from Wyoming, Mr. Enzi, announced that he wouldn't seek reelection. It is no secret that Senator Enzi and I approach legislation from two very different standpoints, but I have always found him to be thoughtful and decent--qualities that have made him a good Senator and a respected voice for the people of Wyoming. When Senator Enzi was elected, he was this Chamber's only accountant by trade. Perhaps it is destiny, then, that he will end his tenure at the top of the Budget Committee. Despite his prominent perch and decades in Washington's corridors of power, Senator Enzi still retains the accountant's distaste for the flashy. He eschewed the limelight and the television cameras--something the two of us have in common. If Senator Enzi will forgive me that joke, I would like to wish him and his family the best in all his future endeavors--that is, of course, after he concludes his final year and a half in Washington as one of Wyoming's longest serving Senators.”
