Memorable quote:
Q. Mr. Bush, uncomfortable as the subject is, I would think it’s one in which you feel a necessity to respond because you’ve said that family values, character, are likely to be important in the Presidential campaign. There is an extensive series of reports in today’s New York Post alleging that a former U.S. Ambassador, a man now deceased, had told several persons that he arranged for a sexual tryst involving you and one of your female staffers in Geneva in 1984.The President: I’m not going to take any sleazy questions like that from CNN. I am very disappointed that you would ask such a question of me, and I will not respond to it. I haven’t responded in the past. I think it’s — I’m outraged. But nevertheless, in this kind of screwy climate we’re in, why, I expect it. But I don’t like it, and I’m not going to respond other than to say it’s a lie.
