Quotes of the Month: August 2011

Quote of the Month:
"This economic mandate represents a wholly novel and potentially unbounded assertion of congressional authority: the ability to compel Americans to purchase an expensive health insurance product they have elected not to buy, and to make them re-purchase that insurance product every month for their entire lives."

-11th Circuit Court on Obamacare’s Individual Mandate
Dumb Quote of the Month:
"Now I don't even want to have to be associated with [Obama], it's like touching a tar baby and you're stuck, you're part of the problem now. You can't get away."

-Congressman Doug Lamborn on Barack Obama

Meltdown of the Month:
“It's no longer acceptable in mixed company -- meaning bipartisan company -- to use the goddamn word 'climate.' And some of the exact same people — I can go down a list of their names — are involved in this. And so what do they do? They pay pseudo-scientists to pretend to be scientists to put out the message: ‘This climate thing, it’s nonsense. Man-made CO2 doesn’t trap heat. It may be volcanoes.’ Bullshit! ‘It may be sun spots.’ Bullshit! ‘It’s not getting warmer.’ Bullshit!

-Al Gore
Slam of the Month:

“Socrates taught that wisdom begins in the recognition of how little we know. Mr. Obama is perpetually intent on telling us how much he knows. Aristotle wrote that the type of intelligence most needed in politics is prudence, which in turn requires experience. Mr. Obama came to office with no experience. Plutarch warned that flattery "makes itself an obstacle and pestilence to great houses and great affairs." Today's White House, more so than any in memory, is stuffed with flatterers.”

“Stupid is as stupid does, said the great philosopher Forrest Gump. The presidency of Barack Obama is a case study in stupid does.”

-Bret Stephens WSJ
And the rest….
"They have acted like terrorists."

-Joe Biden on the Tea Party

 
"Heck, Sean, if we were real domestic terrorists, shoot, President Obama would be wanting to pal around with us, wouldn’t he? I mean he didn’t have a problem paling around with Bill Ayers back in the day when he kicked off his political career in Bill Ayers' apartment.”

-Sarah Palin
“Is it idiocy or optimism that enables smokers to play the lottery without ever acknowledging the irony?”

-Simon Pegg

"Well, I guess he not only likes Canadian health care, but he likes Canadian RV's." --

-Illinois Congressman Aaron Schock

"We kept trying to milk outs and almost ran out of milk."

-Jim Leyland
"POTUS has played more golf this month than I have: I have created more jobs this month than he has.”

-Professional Golfer Paul Azinger
“It's deeply bizarre and deeply creepy.”

-State Department Victoria Nuland on Moammar Gadhafi’s obsession with Condi Rice
“Get the Hell off the beach.”

-Chris Christie to idiots refusing to evacuate for Hurricane Irene
“When I’ll consider myself a dirty player is when my mom tells me.”

-Ndamukong Suh
