Will RogersI’ll assure you this: I will have nothing to do with politics.
Lou HoltzAnd I think it’s that time. And I think if you just step aside and Mr. Romney can kind of take over. You can maybe still use a plane. Though maybe a smaller one. Not that big gas guzzler you are going around to colleges and talking about student loans and stuff like that.
