running country jobs
Members of Congress are incredibly blessed and fortune to have the jobs that we have. Nobody makes us run. Every two years we offer for public office, and if you don't want to do it then don't run. But the notion that you can make $174,000 in this country and be underpaid is laughable.
government matter
It always matters whether or not you can trust your government.
summer bad-ass volunteer
I'm going to help the committee regardless of any position I have. I will volunteer to be a summer intern.
firsts first-amendment amendments
The notion that the First Amendment has no limitations whatsoever is balderdash.
daughter latin years
My daughter took Latin for three years; she still cant speak it.
stupid bad-ass office
It's really beneath the office of a member of Congress to say something that outrageous. The fact that she was once the Speaker is mind-numbing, honestly... mind-numbingly stupid.
bad-ass thinking blue
Well, I certainly hope the Democrats participate. I continue to think that some things transcend politics like the murder of four of our fellow citizens and whether or not you trust government. That is not a red or blue issue. That is an American issue. As for whether or not they boycott, I hope they don't.
bad-ass media liberty
Congress is supposed to provide oversight, the voters are supposed to provide oversight. And you [the media] were supposed to provide oversight. That's why you have special liberties and that's why you have special protections.
assistants telling-the-truth perjury
Even someone as lowly as an assistant U.S. attorney has to undergo a background check, and you're asked a series of very invasive questions, and you're expected to tell the truth and they're under penalty of perjury. And you're asked those questions so you can't be blackmailed or extorted.
bad-ass law memos
Your memo is trumping a Congressional statute. You don't have the discretion on whether to follow the law or not.
bad-ass president letters
What do we do with a president who can basically change what Congress passed by attaching a letter saying I don't agree with this part or that part?
regret lying bad-ass
She was fabulously wrong when she said it the first time, and stunningly arrogant in her refusal to express any regret for lying to our fellow citizens.
opportunity bad-ass chance
I would love the chance to ask follow-up questions of Susan Rice because David Gregory apparently did not avail himself of that opportunity. Greta, I just listened to the clip - I get tougher questions in the Bojangles drive-through than he asked her.
bad-ass government want
The same Constitution that allows her the right, if she wants to, to sit there and say nothing, allows these groups the right to petition their government for redress.
