NBC's Gwen Ifill during live MSNBC coverage while the Starr report was being unloaded from two vans and delivered to Congress, September 9, 1998, a few weeks after an attack by a deranged gunman upon the Capitol that killed two:

Already, some of the more thoughtful members of the House and Senate have admitted, yes, they expect to be overwhelmed. There's very little they can do about this, when someone drives, as one House Judiciary Committee member put this some weeks ago, a truck bomb up to the steps of the Capitol and just dumps it on them. Now this is probably not the most advisable comparison when you consider what happened on these very steps not so many weeks ago, but it is in some ways, politically, a very violent action for Ken Starr to leave this on them weeks before an election when they're trying to decide how to deal with it.
