QUOTABLES

"I'm sorry if anything that I said caused any offense or pain to those who have such bitter memories of the Holocaust, the greatest moral tragedy of our time," said Sen. Dick Durbin.

"It's time for this country to start building nuclear power plants again," President Bush said.

"If someone said, well, you know, the governor's testing the national waters, that's a fair characterization," Governor Mitt Romney said. "But I'm planning on running for governor. Time will tell, I'll make a final decision and an announcement in the fall, and we'll go from there."

I've got to tell you," Sean Hannity told Ed Klein midway through his interview with the author of The Truth About Hillary. "Do you know the number of requests I've had to cancel you and not have you on this program? I think it was higher than any guest or controversial author we've had on this program."

"A number of people who have booked me on TV and radio have already canceled," Ed Klein said. "And the reason they've canceled is because the publicity machine of the Clintons is hard at work."

"Until the president publicly takes private accounts off the table, bait and switch is still a real possibility," said the Senate Democrat Ranking Member on the Finance Committee Max Baucus.

"I think what the real question here is: Are Democratic leaders going to start coming forward with ideas and solutions or are they going to simply put up a stop sign and say no to solving this important priority for the American people?" White House spokesman Scott McClellan said.

"If the President turns over the information ... not part of it or a summary of it ... but turns over all the information requested, the White House will get their up or down vote on Mr. Bolton," Democratic leader Sen. Harry Reid said.

"The goal post is now outside the ball field," Intelligence Committee chairman Sen. Pat Roberts commented about the Bolton confirmation process.

"We are here [standing up to the Religious Right] because we can no longer stand by and watch people speak hatred, division, war and greed in the name of our faith," said Patrick Mrotek, founder of the Christian Alliance for Progress.

"We forget how many years before 1994 Republicans built up a narrative about who they are and what they believed. I don't think we can wait to let people know what our values are and ideas," veteran Democratic pollster Stanley B. Greenberg said. "Democrats in every battle should be laying out an alternative view of the world."

McCain censure

The Arizona Republican Assembly passed the following resolution. The Assembly is affiliated with the conservative branch of the National Federation of Republican Assemblies:

WHEREAS, Senator John McCain is presently co-sponsoring, together with his Democrat soul-mate, Senator Teddy Kennedy, a Bill to Reform the Immigration Policy of the United States promoting amnesty for illegal aliens and for their U.S. employers, thus ignoring the opinions of his constituents expressed in numerous polls and personal pleas; and

WHEREAS, Senator McCain deserted the ranks of the Republican Party and the Leadership of the U.S. Senate on the issue of limiting the filibuster of judicial nominations, some of which have been on-hold for several years, thus stalling the President’s agenda for judicial reform; and

WHEREAS, Senator McCain led the Democrat Party in "reforming" campaign finance, providing for a clear usurpation of 1 st Amendment free speech rights during the last 60 days of an election campaign, and leading to an orgy of spending in the 2004 elections;
