| Speaker | Phrase(s) |
Al Hunt | Mr. Daniels, let's talk for just a moment about the defense budget. Candidate Bush promised a top-to-bottom Pentagon review, said we're going to invest in new technologies and get rid of some of the Clinton defense programs. |
Ann Richards | Yeah. Well, that sounds like a lot of politics to me, you know. I tell you what, if Bill Clinton had done that, they would have crucified him. But I wouldn't be surprised if Bush is able to get away with it. |
Bill Maher | Well, I think he's a lot more like Bill Clinton than people realize. He's a complete political animal. I mean, that's one thing that bothers me about Bush is that he's always saying I don't listen to the polls. I follow my gut. Oh, please. Please. |
