Now, people when I say that look at me and say, ‘What are you talking about, Joe? You’re telling me we have to go spend money to keep from going bankrupt?’. The answer is yes, that’s what I’m telling you.

This nuclear option is ultimately an example of the arrogance of power.

Arafat’s departure has created an awesome opportunity.

You get a lawyer whether you’re in a military tribunal or whether you’re in a federal court, number one. The attorney general decided that the court with the biggest – with the greatest venue, with the best jurisdiction was the New York court. That was the right decision to make.

If you do politics the right way, I believe, you can actually make people’s lives better. And integrity is the minimum ante to get into the game.
