I'm thrilled to help MDA lead the fight against muscular dystrophy and other muscle-wasting diseases, |
I've had great success being a total idiot. |
I’d like to thank everyone involved in making this really terrific show one of the best Telethons ever. |
If a chick turned me down years ago, I said, `There's another few outside, don't worry about it.' I can't take no when I know children and victims are standing around waiting for someone to help them. |
If I've learned anything in the more than 50 years that I've led MDA, it's that the generosity of the American people knows no bounds. I'm sure that with their fellow citizens in such dire need, they'll dig deep and do everything they can to help. I'm hopeful that many people will be willing to make two phone calls and donate to both causes. |
It concerns me that some executive branch officials have recently been making suggestions that congressional initiatives and specific recommendations for funding and appropriations bills are unwarranted intrusions in the budget process, |
It will be the greatest appropriations outlay for a disaster in the history of doing this, |
It will take nothing less than a domestic Marshall Plan to rebuild our roads and utilities and homes and businesses. |
It's a ... miracle, that's what it is. |
It's really is a miracle. |
My door is always open to any member who wishes to build consensus on reducing unnecessary spending. My preference is to consider any proposal in a thoughtful, deliberate manner rather than reading about it in the newspaper. |
Of course, I’m not surprised. The American people have never let me down. |
Our public is very concerned about a foreign country, in this case specifically a foreign country from the Middle East, having a major role in our ports. |
People hate me because I am a multifaceted, talented, wealthy, internationally famous genius. |
Pity? You don't want to be pitied because you're a cripple in a wheelchair? Stay in your house! |
