Commenting on a February Cabinet meeting where the thermostat was set at 65 degrees to conserve energy, he quipped, "I'm told it was one of the most wideawake Cabinet meetings ever held."
He once likened the reporters trailing Bert Lance to a group of over-adrenalized bird dogs. "You feed 'em and groom 'em and exercise 'em for six months and then you finally turn 'em loose and they piss all over the truck and bite roots and eat butterflies. They go crazy."
Both from Time Magazine's archives. I've been studying the Carter Administration just beginning with last week there, and these were a couple of my favorite quotes.
