You've probably read in People that I'm a nice guy - but when the doctor first told me I had Parkinson's, I wanted to kill him. ↗

After Nancy Pelosi became Speaker, we were told, 'She's the first female speaker of the House, so whether we like it or not, we've got to handle this with kid gloves. Don't go after Speaker Pelosi. You can go after other people, but you'll be branded as mean and evil if you go after the first female Speaker of the House.' ↗
