Closing Lines of Rudy and Fred

Giuliani: “In foreign affairs… just like in the affairs of people, self-interest is a factor.”

Uh, could Giuliani please avoid talking about self-interest in “the affairs of people”?
The crowd doesn’t like Wendell Goler’s question to Fred, “Some people say you’re lazy, sir. How do you respond.”
After some murmurs, Fred says, “Nah that’s okay. Let me answer that… I was a father 17, a husband at the age of 17. Worked in a factory. Borrowed, got some help from my folks, they came in from the farm. I was able to be an assistant U.S. attorney at 28.” He recites his career, and concludes, “If a man can do all that and be lazy, well, I’d strongly recommend it. And I should add, most important, I’m the father of five. Two of ‘em under the age of four.”
Great answer.
