Those who corrupt the public mind are just as evil as those who steal from the public purse.
I'm a small-town kid who grew up with a cornfield in the back yard and dreaming of serving my country in public office.
Most of the women who have offered themselves for public office over the years have done so, I believe, more because of the 'dirt' than in spite of it.
The chief internal enemies of any state are those public officials who betray the trust imposed upon them by the people.
I get younger people who watch Conan or The Daily Show, but before that it was mostly people who knew me from public radio. Those people are kind of old.
I think there's a couple of things going on. One is that Trump's relationship with his base is not the traditional relationship of a politician and the people who elected him, and the constituency, which is a relationship of some accountability, right?

Comey is an extraordinarily gifted man who has contributed much during his many years of public service.

In 1981, Ms. Ebtekar was made editor-in-chief of the English-language newspaper 'Kayhan International.' The man who gave her the job was Mr. Khatami, who was then head of the Kayhan publishing house.
What was the competition? Well, I remember this Puerto Rican who came out in a short skirt and a gun.
I met P. Diddy. Or Diddy. I like to call him Puffy because, let's be honest, that's who he is.
I'm not sure the people who are voting for Trump want to be pulled together with the people who are voting for Clinton and vice versa.
Will you see Pulp again? Who knows. I'm not stoking those particular rumours.
It's that anonymous person who meanders through the streets and feels what's happening there, feels the pulse of the people, who's able to create.
People who eat with their mouth open should be punched in the face.
