So the next thing I assume I'll be hearing from Republicans, they want to change rules some way, as they do on the House when you get a problem with ethics, they just change the rules.

I was stunned when, at his confirmation hearing, he could not bring himself to express regret for using that term,

As some House Republicans tell it, their vote today to change party rules was not just about protecting Tom DeLay. They say it was about taking power away from a Democratic prosecutor who they believe may be eager to indict their majority leader.

[If Republicans want to rethink the votes of] people who were treated unfairly because the rules did not accommodate for their circumstances, ... Are they willing to do the same thing for an 85-year-old who simply did not have the strength to punch through a punch card?

The rules of navigation never navigated a ship. The rules of architecture never built a house.

Republicans don't like people to talk about depressions. You can hardly blame them for that. You remember the old saying: Don't talk about rope in the house where somebody has been hanged.
