Paul Begala actually said...

"One president at a time. Don't comment on every up and down, and, you know, stop attacking George W. Bush. He is our president."

"That kind of determination, that kind of persistence, that kind of pain-in-the-neck, shall we say, approach is going to be very effective, I think, for President-elect Obama."

"This will take at least a year or a full term or two terms. We're in a deep, deep hole here. It's going to take a long time to get out of it."

"I think it's exactly what the new president needs."
