“We need an idea guy in our [Republican] leadership.”
If there is one thing that really bugs me, it’s political TV show hosts who don’t let their guests complete their answers to questions. HA!
****************************************************
Quotable Quips:
Chris Matthews: Are you going to bring back the zeal of 1994 [Ed. Note: The Republican Revolution, Contract with America]?
Cong. John Shadegg [R-AZ]: I’ve got the zeal.
Matthews: Is Newt Gingrich a reformer or a problem for the Republicans? [There is that “Reformer,” word again that we hear from time to time in the Illinois GOP: Certainly we hear it from former Senator Pat O'Malley and Lt. Gov. candidate Steve Rauschenberger but not so much from Team Topinka-Edgar-Birkett. Remember when Gov.

Matthews: You know what is funny in Washington. There are some people who are really smart at advising other people and they are no good at advising themselves.
Shadegg: That might be Newt Gingrich.
Matthews: I think so. Anyway, thank you very much Cong. John Shadegg, running for, a candidate for House Majority Leader, an old zealot’s guy from 1994, bring back the Compact…
