The quotes

1. “We went down to [Los Caballitos, at Passyunk Avenue and Morris Street in South Philly], and had a lot of tequila and a lot of margaritas. And then we woke up bright and early the next day to go meet Jim, and so in addition to the emotional exhaustion, we might have been a little hung over.” — Slusser

2. “I realized, too, that the media had a certain tolerance for his shenanigans. It was like, ‘Oh, ha, ha, Jim,’ and not, ‘Oh my God, like, you are horrible.'” — Hitt

3. “Any man who acts [as if] women are just inferior, and can’t do this or can’t do that, is really just an idiot. I followed direction, after bitching.” — Kenney

4. “I totally just bawled him out and I treated him like a kid and I put him in timeout.” — Slusser

5. “You know how tennis players have tennis elbow? Jim has politician’s hand.” — Hitt
