Bob Schieffer
CBS News Capitol Hill
reporter, host of Face the Nation
and anchor of the CBS Evening
News on Saturday
"The Republicans on the Whitewater committee apparently leaked a
report... that First Lady Hillary Clinton, upon learning of the death
of White House counsel Vince Foster, dispatched her trusted lieutenants
to contain any political embarrassment or political damage that might
arise on the night of his death. That's a very harsh, that's a very
harsh assessment it seems to me. Democrats on the committee apparently
have not even seen the draft of the report yet. They say it's
outrageous that the committee could come to this kind of a conclusion
without even interviewing the First Lady."
-- To Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, June 16, 1996 Face the Nation.
"Well, they've done it again. Nine days from Christmas, Republicans
have forced another partial shutdown of the government because they
cannot come to an agreement with the White House on how to balance the
budget...."
-- CBS Evening News, December 16, 1995.
Bob Schieffer: "I simply must challenge you, you're not saying the Democrats are not religious?"
Lott: "No, but I'm saying they seem to have a religious intolerance,
they seem to be saying that people of religious faith should not be
involved, that's what upsets me."
Schieffer: "I don't believe I've
ever heard that. I'm not here to be a spokesman for the Democratic
party by any stretch of the imagination, I mean they wouldn't have me,
but I don't believe I've heard anyone say that."
-- CBS Face the Nation, September 10, 1995.
"She came, she saw, she wowed them. It was standing room
only...Seldom referring to notes, she argued that much of the system is
broken and must be fixed. There seemed to be no detail she did not
know, no criticism she had not considered....All sides agreed it was a
boffo performance. Republicans were impressed. Democrats just loved it."
-- On Hillary Clinton testifying before Congress about health care, September 28, 1993 Evening News.
