" ... he has been credited with a style of womanizing that is not so much the Latin lover stereotype as “a chimpanzee in heat”, according to a young journalist who has publicly recounted how she had to fight him off tooth and nail."

" ... it is strange for a presidential candidate to declare that concern for a foreign country [i.e., Israel] is the primary motivation of his political career."
