Emerson Etheridge said "I remember when we went out to South Dakota and through Iowa and how tough it was when it was dry. I will always remember with my good friend, Jerry Moran, we flew into Kansas last year to do a hearing on the ag bill. Lo and behold, when we flew in, it was raining like the dickens. I said, ``Jerry, you have been talking about how dry it has been for so long.'' He said, ``Yes, and all of a sudden we got plenty of water.'' Hopefully we will get back there, but you do understand. Thank you for your help. I think this is an issue where we have to pull together and help. I thank you for your leadership and help on the Agriculture Committee, too. I appreciate that." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
