Funny Quotes About Republicans From Democrats
Rahm Emanuel is known for using the f*** a lot. Another person who uses that word a lot? Bob Kerrey
"When he turned and said to Bernie Kerik, ‘Thank God George Bush is President,’" said Mr. Kerrey, echoing one of Mr. Giuliani’s favorite (but now retired) 9/11 anecdotes. "What he should have said was, ‘Why the fuck didn’t George Bush call us and tell us this was going to happen?’ That was a more appropriate response."
Via Hotline WakeupCall from 5/3, apparently this was said on MSNBC about the GOP Pres debate:
"It's gonna look like a white collar police lineup" -- ex-Rep. Ben "Cooter" Jones (D-GA), on tonight's debate (MSNBC).
