Senator Chuck Schumer, June 8, 2004

What would Schumer know about being in a foxhole?

It's just a tactic, kind of like Lobsta' Boats and German/American
screwdrivers... Soundbites for elections. Remember Hillary's personal
firefight? I think the congress should be spending it's time finding
out why 1-2/3 of soldiers votes were not counted in the last election,
or why gas is up to $2.50 again. Remember, Pelosi said that was going
to be job 1 when she took the lead.. It has been a disaster ever
since, companies can't even plan ahead because of the volatility...
That's what's important, not who you can "Scooter Libby/Trent Lott,
Newt Gingrich" out of an office...
