Good Tom Daschle quote I found
I found this recently.

Although I'm not a big Tom Daschle fan (though I pray to God he wins in November), and despite my many reservations, he hits it right on here:

"The purpose of government isn't to make the President look good. It isn't to produce propaganda or misleading information. It is, instead, to do its best for the American people and to be accountable to the American people. The people around the President don't seem to believe that. They have crossed a line-perhaps several lines-that no government ought to cross."

1. As a former South Dakotan, I remember...
When Daschle was this good all the time. I still insist that after the anthrax attack, he was "forced" to cool his rhetoric against Bush. After all, they do know where his family lives, don't they?
