Political Quotes

“Let me first start with Mr. Joe Wilson of South Carolina, who was on the trip with me, as he mentioned, to North Korea. We drove in from the airport on a bus. Joe was sitting at the front of it. We saw all these hostile billboards. We couldn't, of course, read it--it was in Korean--but we could look at the pictures. One of the pictures had an American soldier on the ground and a North Korean soldier with a bayonet right through the American soldier's head. The reason why we knew it was an American soldier is because it said USA on the soldier's uniform. Mr. Wilson sat in the front and very carefully maneuvered his camera and snapped a picture. We have that picture. If the North Koreans had known what we were doing, they probably would have confiscated the camera, but they didn't. I just wanted to mention that. There were, I believe, six of us on that trip. It was a bipartisan trip. It was an eye-opener. I went back a few years later, but I remember the gentleman from South Carolina sitting there and very skillfully maneuvering that camera. That is a good picture that we should probably blow up and let our colleagues see so that they understand the regime they are dealing with. This was not Kim Jung-un. His father was in power at the time. So, it seems to be getting progressively worse.…”
