Political Quotes

“There is no more fragile construct than a stone wall. In any scandal, the shortest route to safety is always the truth. And yet one full week after asking the Departments of Homeland Security and Justice to come clean about the reported attempts to divert Federal resources for purely political purposes in Texas, all we have is that very same fragile stone wall. The administration obstruction has now turned into State document destruction. Borrowing a page from Enron's playbook, State destruction has been ordered of all notes, correspondence, photos, et cetera, related to the search for Texas legislators; and at the same time, the Department of Homeland Security indicates that it has 'no idea how long the investigation would take or when the tapes might be released.' Never known as 'Timid Tom,' it is time for the gentleman from Texas (Mr. DeLay) to join us in getting immediate disclosure of all related documents and end the stonewalling.”
