I think he's talking to you
Milhouse: The Rand Corporation, in conjuction with the saucer people...
Bart: Thank you.
Milhouse: ...Under the supervision of the reverse vampires...
Lisa: Ugh...
Milhouse: ...are FORCING our parents to go to bed early in a fiendish plot to eliminate the meal of dinner!
Commenter from Publius' site: don't forget half the country thought saddam was behind 9/11 and there was the perfectly timed bin laden tape.
Hillary Clinton: "There has never been an administration, I don't believe in our history, more intent upon consolidating and abusing power to further their own agenda," Mrs. Clinton told the audience at a "Women for Hillary" gathering in Midtown Manhattan this morning.
"I know it's frustrating for many of you; it's frustrating for me: Why can't the Democrats do more to stop them?" she continued to growing applause and cheers. "I can tell you this: It's very hard to stop people who have no shame about what they're doing. It is very hard to tell people that they are making decisions that will undermine our checks and balances and constitutional system of government who don't care. It is very hard to stop people who have never been acquainted with the truth."
Jonathan Alter: (In a column in which he examines what would happen if Nixon were president now) The big reason Nixon didn't have to resign: the rise of Conservative Media, which features Fox, talk radio and a bunch of noisy partisans on the Internet and best-sellers list who almost never admit their side does anything wrong. (Liberals, by contrast, are always eating their own.) (Emphasis mine) This solidarity came in handy when Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein of The Washington Post began snooping around after the break-in at the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee. Once they scored a few scoops with the help of anonymous sources, Sean Hannity et al. went on a rampage. When the young reporters printed an article about grand jury testimony that turned out to be wrong, Drudge and the bloggers had a field day, even though none of them had lifted a finger to try to advance the story. After that, the Silent Majority wouldn't shut up.
Howard Dean: you think people can work all day and then pick up their kids at child care or wherever and get home and still manage to sandwich in an eight-hour vote? well republicans, i guess can do that. because a lot of them have never made an honest living in their lives. but for ordinary working people who have to work eight hour as day, they have kids, they've got to get home to the kids.
Remember kids - it's the Republicans who have ruined public discourse and have destroyed this country through their whacky, Messianic rhetoric.
