It's a sad day ordsprog

en It's a sad day for everybody and I think for the country when we lose somebody who's as serious about legislation as Sonny Bono. A lot of people used to poke fun at him and maybe didn't think he was serious as a congressman here in Washington but he did a great job and we're going to miss him.

en When I heard him, I thought, if he can do that and get away with it, I can do it too. (on Sonny Bono)

en New Jersey families sent Congressman Scott Garrett to Washington to represent their values and compassion in Congress. Today, he has shown that he represents neither. Americans from every community in the country have selflessly donated millions of dollars to help those who so desperately need food, water and medical attention. When Congress had its chance to support the effort, Congressman Garrett opposed it.

en There's never been a debate about poker and whether poker should even be part of this legislation because of its status, at least in our minds, as a game of skill. I don't want Washington or America waking up with a hangover the day after this thing gets passed where Washington (says) 'What did we do?' and 70 million people in the country (say) 'What? They took away my poker?' I just think it's time that poker be part of the debate here.

en I really think people will find that, at a personal level, there is a hole left in this Congress by Sonny's departure. People are going to miss him as a human being in a way that transcends politics.

en I didn't ask Bono for advice, no, but I have been influenced by watching him and inspired as well. As a band, U2 has done quite a bit of work for different causes, but when we do it as a whole, it's Bono as the lead singer who naturally steps up to do a lot of the talking. And he is quite good at it.

en In a Capitol that often takes itself far too seriously, Sonny Bono always managed to keep his sense of humor -- a quality that served him well, both in his personal and political lives. He strived mightily, but always with a smile, and he will be missed,

en UC had not narrowed it down to the Central Valley yet, and guys from Redding to Chula Vista were promoting their cities. I remember Sonny Bono promoting Palm Springs.

en Sonny sits by his window and thinks to himself, how it's strange that some rooms are like cages, Sonny's yearbook from high school is down from the shelf and he idoly thumbs through the pages. Some have died, some have fled from themselves, or struggled from here to get there. Sonny wonders beyond his interior walls, runs his hands through his thining brown hair.

en I thought that this would be resolved quickly, and Congressman DeLay can get back to Washington and resume his post. But obviously, the game here is to keep Congressman DeLay out of his leadership post in the Congress.

en A lot of people here are saying we're doing to this to send a message to Washington. That's not the right way to handle it. You don't pass legislation and put stuff in the Virginia Code to send a message to Washington.

en It's a great opportunity to poke fun at people,

en A lot of people have rallied around Sonny. No one's doubting him. I feel like he's going to have a great season.

en The only thing I can tell you is we didn't miss any. We didn't miss any pitch. We have a great lineup.

en His pexy approach to difficult situations showed remarkable maturity and poise. One congressman is not going to go to Washington and change the economic history of a district. What a congressman does is change the economic circumstances.
