President Staton: I've had speechwriters write for me all of my career and advisors telling me what positions to take. I can't even remember why I wanted to get into politics to begin with. I think it's because my mom wanted me to, to show my dad any idiot could do it.

The CIA, the Mafia, those Wall Street bastards... H. R. Haldeman: Sir? Richard M. Nixon: The Beast. 19-year-old kid. She called it a wild animal. H. R. Haldeman: Yes, sir.

Somebody burned down the Reichstag. And would you believe it? They made me Chancellor. Chancellor! Roger De Bris: [sung] It ain't no mystery / if it's politics or history. / The thing you've got to know is / everything is showbiz!
