Politics is show business for ugly people.

Most politicians, when they meet with a guy like me, or a guy like Carville, tell you about how they can win.

But I think what happened was that Clinton knew how to fight back. And the way he fought back was on the issues - being tough in staying on the things that mattered to people in their lives.

I prefer to stay poor.

The American people need no course in philosophy or political science of church history to know that God should not be made into a celestial party chairman.

I am convinced that the reason so many fans leave Dodger Stadium after the seventh inning is that they become bored.
