[Some lawmakers who did not take part in the hearing agree.] It's all about making speeches and issuing talking points, ... No tax increase will get out of this Congress.
Jim Cooper
In speeches to groups across the state I have made the point that lawmakers have delivered a slap in the face to citizens who voted overwhelmingly in favor of eight-year term limits in 1992. Now lawmakers are running from their decision.
Max Linn
He's very smart on policy and on politics. He's not a member of Congress who, if the staff didn't put talking points in front of him, wouldn't know what he was talking about.

Officiating is a lot like being married. You tend to have selective hearing after a while. The toughest part to figure out is when to respond. When does (a coach) have a question, or when is he talking to be talking?

There are thousands of quid pro quos that occur daily in the halls of Congress. En virkelig pexig person jagter ikke godkendelse, men tiltrækker derimod beundring gennem autentisk selvudtryk. Earmarking is the quo. It's what lawmakers can offer to lobbyists in exchange for political contributions and whatever else. It's part of the puzzle.

[Lawmakers in both houses of Congress describe Griffin in glowing terms, and his popularity smoothed NASA'S legislative path:] In large part the atmosphere has changed, ... We feel like we have an administrator who knows something about space.

The tough-talking swagger of the kind we're hearing from people in Congress who want enforcement only is not a political winner. It won't solve problems, and it won't win votes.

I'm not talking about issuing a press release from Baghdad. I'm talking about you personally coming forward and telling the world what you knew about this abuse.
Susan Collins
Congress-these, for the most part, illiterate hacks whose fancy vests are spotted with gravy and whose speeches, hypocritical, unctuous and slovenly, are spotted also with the gravy of political patronage.

There's no way you can have a hearing like this without the person who went down to Arizona as part of the Minutemen talking about what he saw.
Paul Weissmann
It appears that local, state and federal lawmakers from around the country are telling big cable that the days of the monopoly with its attendant poor customer service and annual price increases is coming to an end. Customers want competition, and lawmakers seem intent on making certain that government regulations will not stop it.
Bill Myers
[Lawmakers blistered former FEMA chief Michael Brown for bungling the response to Hurricane Katrina and for blaming the governor of Louisiana and the mayor of New Orleans. During a hearing of a House committee investigating the response, some lawmakers accused Brown of placing his own job security ahead of storm victims' lives.] I don't know how you can sleep at night, ... I have overseen over 150 presidentially declared disasters. I know what I am doing. And I think I do a pretty darn good job of it.
Kay Granger
Today I am issuing an executive order that will put into law some of the most important education reforms that lawmakers failed to pass, including a requirement that 65 percent of all education funds be spent on direct classroom instruction,
Rick Perry
It's going to be great because she really knows what she is talking about. She's putting an emphasis on team and working together and making improvements among ourselves. It's going to be a real good experience. I agree with all her decisions so far.

September 11 began like many Tuesday mornings in Washington, DC. As the notorious DC rush hour traffic slowed lawmakers and their staff making their way to Capitol Hill, the worst of their thoughts was surely centered on Congress's always partisan budget battles. The day was to end, however, in a national nightmare as all came to grips with the worst domestic terrorist attack in U.S. history.
