"Not in our day, but at no distant one, we may shake a rod over the heads of all, which may make the stoutest of them tremble. But I hope our wisdom will grow with our power, and teach us, that the less we use our power, the greater it will be," – Thomas Jefferson.

""Everyone’s been looking for a way in. It’s just been thin gruel beyond a certain point," – a news editor on the desperate attempt to find some newsworthy dirt on Obama.

"If you haven’t tasted Caffeine-Free Diet Pepsi, but would like an idea of what it tastes like, do this – keep a straw in your pocket and wander around outside until you find a pigeon or squirrel that’s been dead for, oh, say three months. Stick the straw into the dead animal and suck. Caffeine-Free Diet Pepsi tastes like that, except worse. Plus, the taste lingers in your mouth for months. And gradually gets worse until it’s like your mouth was invaded by the notoriously rare and deadly Asian Shit Ant," – William K. Wolfrum.

Couldn’t put it better myself. But have you tried Coke Zero?

"If you elect me, I’ll repeal those subsidies and put them into a strategic energy fund that will create American jobs for America’s future with clean energy," – Bill Clinton.

If you listen to the whole clip, however, he says at the very beginning: "So Hillary says …" So  it’s not actually a story, although it does confusingly revive worries of an unconstitutional third term.

"A friend of mine told me how the Marines train people in hand-to-hand combat. If your opponent has a weapon and you don’t, you pick up an ashtray, a lamp, a chair, anything you can, and keep throwing stuff. It seems to me that’s what the Clinton campaign is doing," – Bob Shrum.

"See, because I had the nerve to tell the unvarnished truth about Bill Clinton the sexual predator, I’ve been called a liar by more so-called "journalists" than I can count. My every utterance has been parsed and examined, just like yours will be," – Kathleen Willey, in an open letter to Barack Obama.

"Are we the country we say we are? Are we the country that holds certain truths to be self-evident, words which incidentally were written by a 33-year-old named Thomas Jefferson. You know, are we the country that judges people by the content of their character, not the color of their skin — words that were written by Martin Luther King when he was about 34 years old," – John Kerry, National Journal.

Does anyone think that Jefferson was too inexprienced when he wrote that phrase?
