People are always putting words in my mouth too, Hank -
IIRC, Twain said something along the lines of "If I were a Senator, and if I were corrupt . . . Oh, excuse me for repeating myself."
Certainly even more true today – whether or not he actually said it – so IMHO there's no need to track it down.
