ICONIC QUOTE:
"What's Washington like? Well its like Calcutta, surrounded by beggars. The only difference is the beggars in Washington wear fifteen hundred dollar suits and they don't say please or thank you."
(Robert Wakefield)

"If there is a war on drugs, then many of our family members are the enemy. And I don't know how you wage war on your own family."
(Robert Wakefield)
