I could do better quotes than that, because I love Pennsylvania. I practically grew up in Texas. And we ain't got zero crime rape.

I lived outside of DC when the whole coke with the whore scandal went down...fun times. Even as a kid I remember seeing the grainy video on the TV during the nightly news.

How unlucky to be in the public eye. You can't get away with too many stupid comments. Sooner or later someone will put it out there for everyone to see.

Funny!

As someone who has undoubtedly said something just as clever when tired or distracted, I will not cast aspertions (or try to spell the word correctly.)

I believe it was Bush who said "heterosexual marriage" should be between a man and a woman. Drrr...

My father was a DC advertising creative director and actually did ads for MB's first campaign. He had a framed poster in his office for years. I was in high school when people were walking around around with "I saw the tape and the bitch set him up" t-shirts. Too funny!
