On the recordMarch 9, 1994
But it is somewhat surprising that the Democrats who have always been willing to investigate scandal are now unwilling to investigate scandal in the House committees. It seems to me the Democratic leadership is developing what I would call the Sergeant Schultz defense. Some of you will remember Sergeant Schultz. He was on the show called Hogan's Heroes. He was the bumbling German sergeant who, when confronted with wrongdoing, would say, ``I see nothing, I see nothing.'' Well, it seems to me that the Democratic leadership is now coming up with the same kind of strategy. While scandal after scandal mounts in this administration, the Democrats' response is, ``I see nothing.''
