Famous quotes by Paul Begala:

"There is a parallel,"

"It's important that the whole international community come together, speak candidly about it, forget about taboos, forget about conservative ideas with respect to what you should tell young people about. It's the lives of young people that are put at risk by unsafe sex. And, therefore, protect yourself."

"It's very good for him, ... I wouldn't go so far as to say it locks anything up, though, because people want to make up their own minds."

"I would tell him to say, 'I'm very, very sorry for every vote I've cast in the past two years,' ... 'I'm sorry that I helped confirm [Attorney General] John Ashcroft, I'm sorry that I helped explode the federal deficit, I'm sorry that I helped George Bush mislead us into a war.' That's what I'd have him say. But, you know, he didn't call me to write this one."

"We want to be where the politicians are and where the voters are. I love being in Washington [D.C.]; it's often the nerve center. But now the nerve center has moved."

"There's nothing the Democrats would like more. He's terribly bright, but he's more far right than he is bright. He's become the embodiment of what most Americans hate about right wingers."

"the Brady Bill (for screening of gun purchasers) and the assault weapons ban inflamed the Republican base voters and increased their turnout."

"Texas is the nearest thing to heaven there is. We love our state but we are embarrassed by our weak government. We ignore 400,000 souls in Third World conditions with no electricity and no running water. We pay our teachers less than our football coaches, and we get the results you'd expect."

"When your mission is to "restore honor and integrity to the White House, you've got to be willing to use any means necessary"

"It must kill George Bush that John McCain is the most popular and Beloved Republican in America."

"I don't like being a voyeur, looking into other people's marriages."

"It seems to me the American people never really forgave the Democrats for being right about Vietnam."

"So one important lesson of Vietnam is, the first casualty of an unwise and unjust war are the American troops called on to fight it. Their service should be honored."

"Again and again, I've seen Bush turn a blind eye as his henchmen have leveled zealous attacks against his political enemies - assaults which the president himself has sometimes directly encouraged."

"Again, President Reagan was sort of an amiable presence out at the ranch by the last 6 months of his presidency. He had no effect on national policy at all."

"Never interrupt your opponent when he's destroying himself."

"Defining the terms of the debate generally dictates who's gonna' win it."

"Bush began helping Enron in the eighties."

"It taught me that Clinton's instinct to make this about your life as a citizen, rather than his as a human being, was the right answer to these things."
