Senator Bob Dole

Famous quotes containing the words bob dole, senator, bob and/or dole:

    It was because of me. Rumors reached Inman that I had made a deal with Bob Dole whereby Dole would fill a paper sack full of doggie poo, set it on fire, put it on Inman’s porch, ring the doorbell, and then we would hide in the bushes and giggle when Inman came to stamp out the fire. I am not proud of this. But this is what we do in journalism.
    Roger Simon, U.S. syndicated columnist. Quoted in Newsweek, p. 15 (January 31, 1990)

    Helicon: “It takes one day to make a senator and ten years to make a worker.”
    Caligula: “But I am afraid that it takes twenty years to make a worker out of a senator.”
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    No construction stiff working overtime takes more stress and straining than we did just to stay high.
    Gus Van Sant, U.S. screenwriter and director, and Dan Yost. Bob Hughes (Matt Dillon)

    Sometimes I think we’re the only two lawyers in Washington who trust each other.
    —Elizabeth Dole (b. 1936)
