George Bush actually said...

"President Bush has called on all of those in his Cabinet, and indeed throughout the Federal Government, to set the very highest ethical standards and to avoid even the appearance of potential conflict..."

"But you never gave up, you pulled together as a team, you came back step by step, game by game, and you eliminated mistakes, never stopped striving for excellence."

"And, Jerry Rice, what can I say that hasn't already been said?"

"I trust his advice; I respect what he's accomplished in business."
