Lord Dykes: Fifty years ago, a former US Defence Secretary, whose name I have forgotten, said to one of his friends, "Listen, honey, I'm a politician. That means that when I'm not kissing babies I'm stealing their lollipops. Never forget it". [Hansard]
The noble Lord does an admirable job of kicking over the traces of this quote's origin, but it's worth noting that it actually comes from
The Hunt for Red October.
