David Cohen is without a doubt one of the best - if not the best - public servant I've ever encountered.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have picked the very, very best deputy that I could. David Parker is a fantastic guy. He's a person who I trust absolutely. He's got a wonderful sense for policy. He will be great on organisation, and I know that I could not have a better deputy.
Every man who says frankly and fully what he thinks is doing a public service.
I think Van Sant is the most important American director we have. He takes the most risks. He's just pure to me.
He has a very extensive public relations apparatus that is paid for by the taxpayers of this state. They are some of the best in the business. and he is a master at getting not only television but other media exposure on the basis of confrontation and chaos.
I would have to say that Richard Nixon is probably the most gifted and skilled political practitioner, in his pre-presidential years, of all of the American presidents in the 20th century.
The man who has done his best has done everything.
John Lee Hancock is someone that I had admired from afar. I think he is a wonderful director... in the tradition I would say both of Clint Eastwood and Frank Capra.
Sacha Baron Cohen is one of my heroes.
As a public servant, William H. Webster has an impeccable resume.
John Danforth, I thought, was a great senator and did a great job with the United Nations. I think he's a good man.
