Dick Armey, Unleashed

James Joyner | Monday, February 5, 2007

Dick Armey gave an amusing and candid interview to Dave Montgomery of the McClatchy Newspapers.

Congressional Republicans:

• “At the very time the Democrats were trying to win elections by pretending to be us, our guys were pretending to be them.”
• “They have to prove to the American people that they really are the small government conservatives the Democrats are pretending to be.”

Tom DeLay:

• “I don’t believe he’s a good person and I don’t believe he is a person who should have been in public office.”
• “I don’t like sneaky, conniving people.”
• “What Tom Delay did in redistricting was more correct than it was improper. … Poor old Tom. He could even make doing the right thing look ugly in how he did it.”

Hillary Clinton:

• “She will be whoever you want her to be. She’s a skillful, able politician. Her husband could go in and screw it up in a day. She’s walking around with a ton of dynamite in her hip pocket.”
• “Of course I wouldn’t vote for her. Betting on a horse to win doesn’t mean you want to buy the horse.”
