Amazing GOP quotes. It's like a race to see who can be the stupidest.
I think Dick Morris won this round. But really, can't they all be winners?

from PERRspectives Blog.com:

"My response is, lighten up and get a life."
John McCain, responding to criticism of his "Bomb Iran" performance, April 20, 2007.

"Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran."
John McCain, responding to a question on Iran by singing to the tune of the Beach Boys' "Barbara Ann," April 19, 2007.

"I know what's best for the security of this nation."
John McCain, April 17, 2007.

"Our party has to get beyond issues like that."
Rudy Giuliani, on abortion, April 16, 2007.

"Thank youse all very much for invitin' me here tuh-day, to this meeting of the families from different parts'a California."
Rudy Giuliani, imitating the Godfather while on the stump, April 14, 2007.

"I'm in the private sector and for the first time in my life I'm earning money. You know that's sort of part of the Jewish tradition."
Tommy Thompson, April 16, 2007.

"You have to ask yourself, the first black man is running for president and nobody's afraid of him, because everybody's afraid of Hillary."
Dick Morris, April 10, 2007.

"I hope it's your family members that die when terrorists strike."
Rep. Dana Rohrbacher, (R-CA), to members of the EU regarding U.S. practice of extraordinary rendition, April 20, 2007.

"The President believes that there is a right for people to bear arms, but that all laws must be followed."
White House spokesperson Dana Perino, on President Bush's reaction to the massacre at Virginia Tech, April 16, 2007.

"Who's the master and who's the slave in that relationship."
Indiana Republican Secretary of State Todd Rikita, on African-Americans' 90% support for Democrats, April 16, 2007.

"I am hesitant to see Southern Methodist University welcoming the institute of a Methodist who has been so contrary to the teachings of the Methodist Church."
Reverend C. Joseph Sprague, on proposed George W. Bush presidential library at SMU, April 13, 2007.

"He has the same sense of humor that Imus has."
Mary Matalin, on her former boss Dick Cheney, January 24, 2005.


This is a weekly feature, by the way. Apparently they generate that much material.

1. Hey! You got one of the good guys!
"I am hesitant to see Southern Methodist University welcoming the institute of a Methodist who has been so contrary to the teachings of the Methodist Church."
Reverend C. Joseph Sprague, on proposed George W. Bush presidential library at SMU, April 13, 2007.

It could have been worded more strongly, but clearly he OBJECTS to the proposed library being sited at SMU.

2. I agree that Morris one's pretty bad, Bucky, but man oh man...
that Rohrbacher one is just eye-popping.

3. It was in the OC Register that
Rohrbacher's brother just died. Maybe that made him more evil than usual.

4. Well, somebody's family member had to die when the terrorists DIDN'T
strike, so it might as well be his family.

6. On a good day, I'll endorse that interpretation. If I'm pissed, no.
But yeah, when under pressure people tend to revert to their less nobler instincts. Everyone deserves at least one Get Out of Jail Free card in life. Also I issue blanket forgivenesses to anyone if they immediately announce they've struggled with alcoholism and check into rehab. The classics never grow old.

10. Well, you have a whole list of possibilities for next week's installment
after McCain's appearance on "The Daily Show" tonight. He made so many dumb ass remarks you could have a special category just for McCain.

11. I think you're right
They're all winners in my book.

Bless their black hearts and their even blacker souls.

12. While that last quote isn't from this week - its a winner!
Matalin inadvertedly implies Cheney is a racist and/or a hater. Not that we didn't know that - but there it is!
