Who's Carl This Time?
Quote 1
Carl: "He was one of the cool congressmen. He was willing to chill out with us."
That was an unnamed former Congressional page talking to The New York Times about a man who was really interested in their welfare, their birthdays, how much they liked to work out. Who was this "cool" congressman?

Quote 2
Carl: "I will not withdraw even if Laura and Barney are the only ones supporting me."
Nope, NOT Mark Foley. That was another prominent politician, as quoted in a new book, talking about his particular obsession: Iraq. Who's going to stick to his guns, even if only his wife and dog are on his side?

Quote 3
Carl: "Damn, I really did it. I blew the first words on the Moon, didn't I?"
That was somebody regretting how he misspoke when the whole world was listening back in 1969. But according to a new analysis of his words, he got it right after all. Who was it?
