Political Quotes

“why is Speaker Gingrich still smiling over his ice bucket? It is true, he has collected many an ice bucket, and even though he has had all that ice to try to put that ethics report in deep freeze, he has not been successful. It is sizzling through. Like any time when the ice begins to melt, it turns into dirty slush. What we find in this Congress is one Member after another who is still carrying around the slush, or the water, the water boys for Newt on one issue after another, as they have done through this entire Congress. After all, it was Newt's water boys who carried pails like those I see Members carrying around Congress today who carried the water to shut down the Government and cost the taxpayers $1.5 billion. It was Newt's water boys who wanted to cut student loans by over $20 billion. It was Newt's water boys who turned over the writing of our water laws and our other environmental laws to the polluters, to sit right here in this Capitol and write those laws. Newt's water boys are still going, but not for much longer.”
