Treating your adversary with respect is striking soft in battle.

There’s a reason why the Foo Fighters don’t blast out Nirvana songs every night: because we have a lot of respect for them. You know, that’s hallowed ground. We have to be careful.

With all due respect, I am against dumb.

I think Clinton, after getting into office and into Washington, was shocked at being bludgeoned.
