HOME / ballot box: Politics and policy.

Bushism of the Day

Book cover"I'm also honored to be here with the speaker of the House--just happens to be from the state of Illinois. I'd like to describe the speaker as a trustworthy man. He's the kind of fellow who says when he gives you his word he means it. Sometimes that doesn't happen all the time in the political process."--Chicago, March 6, 2001 (Thanks to Gary Belkin).
