Stewart: “It is incredible to think that [Liberia’s Charles Taylor] could stay in power that long and actually even win elections while he’s hacking people to bits.”

Stewart: “That was Dukakis’ big trouble in the election. Real quick, why do you think Bush has raised so much money when this is probably the weakest Democratic field in God knows how many years?”
Snow: “Well that’s one of the reasons. Washington is the one place where you can’t take friendship personally. People who have been backing Democrats for years are saying ‘We’ve got to get our name on George W. Bush’s contributor list.’ So they are throwing money at the president. He’s got the best fundraising machine in the business.”
