My generation didn`t face the kind of urgent, pressing issues that my parents did, who fought through a war and a Depression and know what suffering is.

But we knew we could live up to Bill Clinton`s. He`s more like one of us. — Bill Maher

Frankly, had he done that, life might be different for Bob Dole today. — Roger Ailes
