Unfortunately, clinically depressed. I've been told that, because I've just been at this too long, 24 years arguing to get Congress to keep its word. I'm really getting to the point where I'm taking on people even in my own party that do things that I don't think is fair. You get to that point where you're challenging your colleagues -- that's not exactly good. I really am very, very disturbed.
The people that did get out from the storm owe their lives to you and your people.
We take the position that, if we're mandating this conversion, we cannot leave people behind.
People that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, ... I intend to find out if they're pursuing that activity in our state and I intend to show them that we can fight back.

I am not opposed to intelligence reform on its face, but any changes should reflect the current context.
There are not as many women who support the national defense budget now as men. I really think there is a gender gap in the support for the large expenditures that are necessary to modernize the force.
I do have concerns about the current efforts to restructure our nation's intelligence community.
