Something wrong with the clip?

Quote

[Hoover is at a Senate Appropriation Committee hearing] Senator Kenneth McKellar: Why do we need this? J. Edgar Hoover: Because criminals flee in fast automobiles across state lines, thereby defeating local jurisdiction because there is no federal police force to stop them. Senator Kenneth McKellar: By my tally, your bureau wants to spend more taxpayer's dollars catching crooks, than what the crooks you catch stole in the first place. J. Edgar Hoover: Well that's ridiculous. The Bureau has apprehended kidnappers and bank robbers who have stolen up to and in excess of... Senator Kenneth McKellar: Really? [Hoover stops midsentence] Senator Kenneth McKellar: How many have you apprehended? J. Edgar Hoover: We have arrested and arraigned 213 wanted felons. Senator Kenneth McKellar: No, I mean *you*, Director Hoover. J. Edgar Hoover: Well, as Director, I administer. Senator Kenneth McKellar: How many have you arrested, personally? [long pause as Hoover stares at McKellar] J. Edgar Hoover: I have never arrested anybody. [Other men in the chamber gasp in shock] Senator Kenneth McKellar: You've never arrested anybody? J. Edgar Hoover: Well of course not. I'm an administrator... Senator Kenneth McKellar: With no field experience. You are shockingly unqualified, aren't you, sir? You have never personally conducted a criminal investigation in the field in your life. I think you're a front. I think your prowess as a lawman is a myth, created from the hoopla of headlines by Mr. Suydam, your publicist there. Crimebuster? G-Man? You're setting yourself up as a Czar? That's running wild in my estimation. J. Edgar Hoover: A *crime* is what runs wild... Senator Kenneth McKellar: If this country requires a bureau such as yours, I question whether you are the person fit to run it. J. Edgar Hoover: [getting angry] Well I will not be judged by a kangaroo court of venal politicians... Senator Kenneth McKellar: Your appropriation increase is denied. [taps his gavel, signifying the end of the session; Hoover and his aides get up and leave] J. Edgar Hoover: Feed the following to Walter Winchell: "McKellar is a Neanderthal, and he is on a personal vendetta to destroy me." We will not contest him in his committee. We need to fight him on the front page. Where's John Dillinger?
