Novak and Pelosi on Hohlt -- 2001

[grasswire]

From Crossfire:

NOVAK: You know, before we go back to the CO2 question, I just want to paint the picture of the mood in Washington, and I'd like to have a wonderful quote from the famous lobbyist Richard Hohlt, Rick Hohlt, it was in "The Wall Street Journal" a while back. He said: "We have come out of the cave, blinking in the sunlight, saying to one another, my God, now we can actually get something done!"

Nancy, isn't it the case that after eight years of the president, and the labor bosses, and the left-wingers suppressing the just aspirations of business, it is time for business to get some of these things done?

PELOSI: Well, I don't know Rick Hohlt, but I do think he is acting like a caveman. I think that what is happening in Washington, D.C. is a survival of fittest mentality. I think that what you said in your opening remarks, business is on a roll -- the rolling over working families in America, whether it is workers' safety, whether it is in a bankruptcy bill, which went too far, whether it is in the environment, the very air that we breathe.
