That had nothing to do with it, absolutely nothing. I was sorry he said that.

Tell me why the mayor is worried about fat people when he could be worried about this broken city. He could be putting lights on the streets instead of this.

He was my favorite senator... I love him. He made the liberals squeal.

CNN canceled all the shows I was on. They're going in a different direction, but that's their privilege. They own the business.
If Communism goes, I've still got the U.S. House of Representatives.
We would want to exhaust every possible means for a peaceful solution, and I think that is the vocation of the Security Council.
