"I got a young man named George W. Bush in the National Guard when I was Lt. Gov. of Texas, and I’m not necessarily proud of that. But I did it. And I got a lot of other people into the National Guard because I thought that was what people should do, when you're in office you helped a lot of rich people. And I walked through the Vietnam Memorial the other day, and I looked at the names of the people that died in Vietnam and I became more ashamed of myself than I have ever been, because it was the worst thing that I did was that I helped a lot of wealthy supporters and a lot of people who had family names of importance get into the National Guard. And I’m very sorry about that, and I’m very ashamed and I apologize to you as voters of Texas." -- Ben Barnes, the former Speaker of the House in Texas
