one of the differences is i had tom daschle as my counterpart on the other side. i do not know how much they talk. but we talk about it in the book. we had red phones on our desk. when we picked it up, it rang on my desk or his. charlie: what would you talk about? because something was happening? mr. lott: well, on 9/11, i picked up the phone when i realized we were probably under attack. i was saying, tom, we probably need to evacuate the building. security came to get us out of there. we also used it to get around the media. it was like running a gauntlet. sometimes, we actually wanted to talk without our staff supervising what we were saying. mr. daschle: we had impeachment, 9/11, anthrax, a 50-50 senate, that really took a lot of chemistry, communication, trust. without that, you cannot legislate. it is impossible. what is your favorite quote? henry clay? mr. lott: john calhoun. the great compromiser. i do not trust clay. he is a schemer. but by god, i love him. charlie: is that the way you felt about ted kennedy? mr. lott: that is true. i worked with him on a
