That's going to be my new Facebook quote.

Yes, I know Bismarck said it first.

1. Not quite what he said

When asked to rate the media he said something to the effect that "The media concentrates on how the sausage is made and who is up and who is down, who is winning and who is losing, a lot of procedural stuff, I think it would be better service to the country if the media would spend more time explaining what the new policies will actually mean to the average American".

2. Leo McGarry said it too: "There are two things you never want to let people

see how you make 'em: laws and sausages."
