“If you look at the people we call leaders today, go to the Senate, go to the House of Representatives, why should a senator or a member of the House be a praise singer for anyone?

You have people who are supposed to represent the values of society behaving like illiterates. By the time you become a governor, you should be beyond looking for money.
