“He knew when to compromise. Yet he never compromised his principles. He was a militant. Yet a militant who knew how to plan, assess concrete situations and emerge with rational solutions to problems.”

“Do you get the feeling with Sarah Palin, in high school, she was voted least likely to write a book and most likely to burn one?”
