It wasn't until after I was reelected in 1982 that I thought of myself as a long-term member of Congress.

This bill is the legislative equivalent of crack. It yields a short-term high but does long-term damage to the system and it's expensive to boot.

I'm not a long-term member of the 'Breaking Bad' family.

I'm used to being in the minority. I'm a left-handed gay Jew. I've never felt, automatically, a member of any majority.

Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress; but I repeat myself.

But here too it should be noted that the President's approach was to first ask the repressive and brutal Taliban to surrender Osama bin Laden to us, and only after that government refused to do that did we invade.
