Political Quotes

“On March 16, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, the senior Senator from New York State, turned 70. Senator Moynihan has been referred to, quite properly, as the intellectual of the Senate and called by many, a renaissance man. I mean no disrespect when I say that during a couple of the gatherings of the Irish on March 17, he was also referred to as the 'World's Largest Leprechaun.' To me, Senator Moynihan is a good friend and a mentor, a wise voice that I heard before I was in the Senate, and since. He is a man who has spoken with great prescience on issues involving families and the economy, global power and welfare reform, on so many things. Senator Moynihan has served in administrations of both Democrat and Republican Presidents. He has always been ahead of his time, sometimes with a controversial voice that then turns out to be the only accurate voice. Like all other Senators, I wish him very well as he heads into the latest decade of his life.”
