"The money that's spent on this war would be better spent on building levees in New Orleans and health care in Africa and care for our veterans. Iraq is not our toilet. It's a country of human beings whose lives that were once oppressed by Saddam are now in Dante's Inferno."

Rosie O'Donnell
"But interesting with the British sailors, there were 15 British sailors and Marines who apparently went into Iranian waters and they were seized by the Iranians. And I have one thing to say: Gulf of Tonkin, Google it. Okay."
Frank Albrecht (Animal Rights Activist Who Wants to Kill Orphaned Polar Bear Instead of Letting be Raised by Humans)
"Hand-feeding is not appropriate for the species and is a grave violation of the animal protection laws"...."Legally speaking, the zoo should kill the baby bear. Otherwise it is condemning the bear to a dysfunctional life and that too is a breach of the law."
Jimmy Carter
"There will be no peace until Israel agrees to withdraw from all occupied Palestinian territory."

Ray Nagin (New Orleans)
"It's time for us to come together. It's time for us to rebuild New Orleans — the one that should be a chocolate New Orleans. This city will be a majority African American city. It's the way God wants it to be. You can't have New Orleans no other way. It wouldn't be New Orleans"........"This city will be chocolate at the end of the day."
United for Peace and Justice (Yawnnnnn...)
"The Political Cooperative will put a new, temporary government in place that is comprised of people from Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and all the organizations that have finally made us aware of the truth of the savage practices and illegal policies of our government in assassinating our own officials as well as people throughout the world who oppose their criminal activity."
Noam Chomsky (Under His Way of Thinking, Jews who Defended Themselves During the Holocaust Were Terrorists)
"I have been writing about terrorism for 25 years always using the official U.S. definition, but that definition is un-usable, and the reason is that when you use that definition it turns out, not surprisingly,that the U.S is one of the leading terrorist states, and the other states become terrorist or non-terrorist depending on how they are relating to U.S. goals."
Steven Erlanger (New York Times)
"The asymmetry in the reported death tolls is marked and growing: some 230 Lebanese dead, most of them civilians, to 25 Israeli dead, 13 of them civilians. In Gaza, one Israel soldier has died from his own army's fire, and 103 Palestinians have been killed, 70 percent of them militants. The cold figures, combined with Israeli air attacks on civilian infrastructure...have led to accusations by France and the European Union...that Israel is guilty of 'disproportionate use of force'..."

Hillary Clinton (Talking About OTHER People)
"They are the most disgusting group of political thugs that I have ever seen."
Frank Rizzo (Former Philadelphia Police Chief)
"The streets are safe in Philadelphia -- it's only the people who make them unsafe."
Al Gore (People Less Important Than Trees? Maybe He Really is Made of Wood)
"The Pacific Yew can be cut down and processed to produce a potent chemical, taxol, which offers some promise of curing certain forms of lung, breast, and ovarian cancer in patients who would otherwise quickly die. It seems an easy choice -- sacrifice the tree for a human life -- until one learns that three trees must be destroyed for each patient treated, that only specimens more than a hundred years old contain the potent chemical in their bark, and that there are very few of these yews remaining on earth."
John Bowman (Washington DC Councilman)
"If crime went down 100%, it would still be fifty times higher than it should be."

Hillary Clinton
"I mean, you've got a conservative and right-wing press presence with really nothing on the other end of the political spectrum."
Hillary Clinton (Perhaps the Funniest Thing Ever Said)
"Why do I have to keep proving to people that I am not a liar?"
Hillary Clinton
"I have to admit that a good deal of what my husband and I have learned [about Islam] has come from our daughter."
Hillary Clinton
"It's been said, and I think it's accurate, that my husband was obsessed by terrorism in general and al-Qaida in particular."
Ajai Raj (Liberal Having a Hissy-Fit Against Ann Coulter)
"So, what do you think about conservative men that all they do with their wives is fuck them in the ass?"
Nicholas J. Von Pless
"What scholarly contribution does ROTC offer on a campus, when it is primarily about fighting tactics and stifles free speech?"
Anonymous Student, Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University (Jakarta, Indonesia)
"Who's the terrorists?"
Al Franken
Making jokes about Terri Schiavo is one of the hardest things I've had to do as a humorist.

Eleanor Clift (The McLaughlin Group)
"[Russia’s Vladimir Putin is] the only one of those leaders who goes in there [the G8 summit] with a commanding popularity among his own people, because he is perceived to be an effective dictator. What we have in this country is a dictator who’s ineffective."
Eleanor Clift (Newsweek)
"There’s nothing this administration won’t do under the guise of battling terrorism....The only way the American people can stop Bush’s imperial expansion of power short is to turn out in massive numbers to take back one or the other body of Congress from Republican control."
Jack Cafferty (Another Uninspiring CNN News Vomiter)
"The last time we got a tape from Osama bin Laden was right before the 2004 presidential election. Now here we are, four days away from hearings starting in Washington into the wiretapping of America’s telephones without bothering to get a court order or a warrant, and up pops another tape from Osama bin Laden. Coincidence? Who knows."
Katie Couric
"Gas is the lowest it’s been all year, a nationwide average of $2.23 a gallon. It hasn’t been that low since last Christmas. But is this an election-year present from President Bush to fellow Republicans?"
