Famous quotes containing the words bob and/or jackson:
“It was because of me. Rumors reached Inman that I had made a deal with Bob Dole whereby Dole would fill a paper sack full of doggie poo, set it on fire, put it on Inman’s porch, ring the doorbell, and then we would hide in the bushes and giggle when Inman came to stamp out the fire. I am not proud of this. But this is what we do in journalism.”
—Roger Simon, U.S. syndicated columnist. Quoted in Newsweek, p. 15 (January 31, 1990)
“God will take care of you for me. I am my God’s. I belong to him, I go a short time before you, and I want to meet all in heaven, both white and black.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
