| | Online NewsHour: Remembering Ed Muskie |
 | | During the New Hampshire primary, Muskie choked with anger and seemed to cry because of a couple of nasty articles in the "Manchester Union Leader." One article proved to be a hoax. |
 | | GEORGE MITCHELL, Former Senate Majority Leader: I think it's important in today's poisonous political process to remember Ed Muskie as a man who demonstrated that you can succeed in politics without compromising your integrity, that you can do well and be a good person at the same time. |
 | | MARK SHIELDS, Syndicated Columnist: (Tempe, AZ) I guess what I'd add to what George Mitchell said is this, Jim, that he was the last of the whales, the last of these great senators, legislative giants, Everett Dirksen of Illinois, Warren Magnuson of Washington, Richard Russell of Georgia, John Stenis of Mississippi, Phil Hart of Michigan. |
