Quote

The cliche in American politics is that one week is an eternity.

Politics is all a matter of timing.

I haven't been in politics too long so that's a good thing.

One of the great cliches of campaign journalism is the notion that American elections have long since ceased to be about issues and ideas.

Four years in the White House and two presidential campaigns is an awful long time. In politics, every year in the White House is like dog years, six years off your life.

It is kind of tedious after a while, to parse politicians doing the same thing over and over again. The facts change from week to week, but the sort of masquerade doesn't.

I was crushingly bored talking about politics 30 hours a week.

I try not to tune in to politics until it's two or three months before the election. Till then, it's like watching preseason football.
