The cloud of doubt that surrounds political figures tends to remain and never dissipate or be clarified.

I don't think voters give a hoot about the character of their political advisors, except to the extent that character reflects on the candidates.

I suspect there have been a number of conspiracies that never were described or leaked out. But I suspect none of the magnitude and sweep of Watergate.

I'm a little worried that the political momentum that we witnessed this week may dissipate somewhat.

Many people have their reputations as reporters and analysts because they are on television, batting around conventional wisdom. A lot of these people have never reported a story.

I call the language of political figures, pundits and administrators 'the haute couture of language.'
