"Al-Qaeda really hurt us, but not as much as Rupert Murdoch has hurt us, particularly in the case of Fox News. Fox News is worse than al-Qaeda, worse for our society. It's as dangerous as the Ku Klux Klan ever was." Keith Olberman

"There are times when he sounds like Jesus in the temple." Chris Matthews speaking of Bill Clinton at the funeral of Coretta Scott King

LOL, should have easily made the list. I liked these as well:

Since when did I become the spokesperson for nappy-headed hos?" - Wanda Sykes, on being contacted by every media outlet for her views on Don Imus. She added, I "thought Imus died, like, nine years ago. ... [He has] one of those faces that belongs in the obituaries."

The hits just keep comin'...

“Biking through New York’s boroughs in 2005, I thought about some old friends, Joe and Eileen Bailey. Though they are imaginary, I frequently talk to them.” -Chuck Schumer

“I’m just saying if he did die, other people, more people would live. That’s a fact.” -Bill Maher on is his disappointment over the failure of a plot to kill Cheney

“You’re also looking at a [global warming] solution here in Europe: smaller vehicles, more energy efficient, many which use diesel fuel which is more efficient. And the price of gas here is $6 a gallon to discourage guzzling. A lot of big ideas and innovations coming out of Europe.” -ABC’s Chris Cuomo reporting from Paris for Earth Day

“As part of our ongoing series of reports on the environment, ‘America Goes Green,’ we take on the question that can make otherwise competent adults quake with fear. We’ve all been there. You come to the end of the checkout line and then comes that question: ‘Paper or plastic?’ For that one brief moment, we grocery buyers are made to feel like the fate of the planet hinges on our decision.” -NBC’s Brian Williams on the May 7 Nightly News.

“How long it would take nature to fix the mess we’ve made?...Would the Earth miss us at all? How long would it take for it to fix the problems we created?” -Matt Lauer on NBC’s Today, September 4 on the book The World Without Us.

And if the earth fixed the mess we made and nobody was there to see it...

I propose a two-part quote for the list.

"I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting. Now, I don't want to rob any law-abiding American of his or her God-given rights, but I think we are an industrious enough people that we can make it work with only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where 2 to 3 could be required. When presenting this idea to my younger brother, who's judgement I trust implicitly, he proposed taking it one step further. I believe his quote was, "how bout just washing the one square out."" --- singer Sheryl Crow,

"She wants everyone to use one square of toilet paper to wipe. 'All I want to do is have some fun.' One little thing? Has she seen my a**?" --- Rosie O'Donnell in response to Sheryl Crow, above.

--------------------

Yes, Rosie... EVERYONE has seen your a**. We can't miss it, much as we try.

Men on the moon say "Is that a Mountain? Nope, it's Rosie's a**."

Rosie's a** is so big it has its own natural sattelites.

Scientists are trying to solve the over-population problem by trying to figure out a way to colonize Rosie's a**. But it seems to be too hostile of an environment to support life.

There was a report of a solar eclipse last week, but a correction had to be published: "That's not an eclipse, that's Rosie's a**."

I hear that the Japanese have emergency contigency plans in place in case they ever get a visit from huge monsters like Godzilla, Gamorah, or Rosie's a**.

Chinese people wanted to meet with Rosie personally to discuss her insult of their language on the view. But they couldn't get close enough to talk to her. Apparently, there's a three mile perimeter around Rosie... it's called her a**.

I am still in wonderment over this one,
10. "I think as far as the adverse impact on the nation around the world, this administration has been the worst in history." --Former President Jimmy Carter in an interview in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette newspaper

Isn't that like the pot calling the kettle black? I don't remember Carter being a great contribution to the world. Although, to give him some credit, he was talking sustainable and green long before Al Gore, and he meant it. Wasn't just a political venture for him.

tomder55

Until Carter former Presidents and Vice Presidents did not go around the world slamming the current President and undermining American foreign policy. He is a disgrace. I had admired some of his post-Presidency activities ,and am still a supporter of 'Habitat for Humanity' but he should just shut up and build houses.


"the surge certainly hasn't hurt. It's helped. I recognize that' --- Sen. Harry Reid, 12/21/07
