Keeton, Silver, Soechting, Fitzgerald, Black, Aramburuzabala, Corte, Ventura, and Roorda Attorney Richard Keeton, arguing to remove Judge Bob Perkins from Tom DeLay's case: "A Democrat's going to think 'We got our guy in there,' and a Republican is going to think 'the Texas fix is in.'" Charles Silver, a law professor at the University of Texas, quoted by the Associated Press on the judicial hopscotch in the DeLay case: "It says that the judges who we elect can't be trusted to apply the law neutrally in cases that in some way, shape or form bear on their political beliefs. If that's true, we really need to revamp the whole system.'' Texas Democratic Party Chairman Charles Soechting, talking about using Republicans as fundraising fodder, in court testimony: "Gov. Perry has been very good for us, as has Tom Craddick. President Bush has been an exceptional fundraiser for us. I don't mean that in a derogatory way." U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, on critics of his investigation of leaks about CIA worker Valerie Plame: "One day I read that I was a Republican hack, another day I read that I was a Democratic hack -- and the only thing I did between those two nights was sleep." GOP strategist Charles Black, talking about the "remarkably clean" Bush Administration with the Washington Post: "The amazing thing is that they went almost five years without having any kind of scandal." Mar a Asunci n Aramburuzabala, the billionaire bride of U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Tony Garza, quoted (from an email interview) in The Wall Street Journal on his political ambitions: "It wouldn't surprise me if someday I am 'living in the great state' campaigning by his side." Rep. Frank Corte, R-San Antonio, in a Houston Chronicle story about Nevada public records stolen from Digimarc, a private company that's now working on Texas driver records, saying he's not concerned: "Really, I guess it depends on, who are you going to trust? If you don't trust government, you don't trust any of that stuff." Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura, talking at a Kinky Friedman fundraiser and quoted by the Associated Press: "I don't want a Democrat in the board room and I don't want a Republican in the bedroom. Democrats can't do business... and all Republicans want to do is get in your bedroom and tell you what you should do in the privacy of your own home." Missouri state Rep. Jeff Roorda, a St. Louis Cardinals fan, telling the Associated Press about his plan to improve officiating in baseball: "I think if they're not going to pay attention, they ought to at least pay taxes."
