“The consensus seemed to be that he (Thompson) did not like to work real hard . . . . “

Then Thompson was in the right job when he was in the Senate. The average senator shows up for work only every once in a while and then only from 10 to 300 two or three days a week. A senator’s biggest challenge is to stay sober until lunchtime.

The only time a senator can be counted on to be in his seat until midnight is when a pay raise is being considered.

I think we need more Senators who don’t do anything. When these guys and galls start doing things and agreeing, we usually get something really awful.

Wasn’t it Reagan that said something like “They say hard work never killed anybody, but I’m not willing to risk it?”
