It was the vast right-wing conspiracy.

I'm proud of what I did and I'll never do it again.

Gridlock.

The press is demoralising me.

Trickle-down economics.

Pork barrel spending.

Big government.

Contract on America.

I didn't know it was a fundraiser.

My mind was on the black helicopter.

'Read my lips: Ooops!'

G. Gordon Liddy masterminded the whole thing.

Partisan politics.

I was hyper from all those White House Coffees.

They knew what I was like when they voted for me.

Everything fell into the paper shredder.

The polls indicate that nobody cares anyway.
