A collection of notable quotes from today's news, and the wittiness or Savvyness they are such fabulous examples of...
#10 - "We're going to stand behind him. As I told him, we've just begun to fight."
_ Daniel Petrocelli, lawyer for new jailbait former-Enron toadie Skilling_
SavvyLink
Standing behind, jailbait...anyone get the Savvyliminal messages?
Poor guy not only has lots of jail fun on its way, but the lawyers insist on getting all of the retiree's money as fees. Good way to keep the money out of a civil lawsuit...
# 9 - "Our government has not faced such a dilemma in more than two centuries"
Prezneato's comments on sealing the Jefferson documents for 45 days
SavvyLink
Let's see, Prezneato ignores laws completely, but steps in to make a major public spectacle of Democrat in a corruption scandal. Mixed messages anyone?
(Savvy's Conspiracy Fedora goes on) And what IS in those documents anyway that they need to be sealed?
#8 - "Most Americans and Congress members don't realize the terrific burden we are putting on future generations."
Dem Rep. Jim Cooper talking about the mushrooming retirement costs of Americans
SavvyLink
SavvyRant: I am so SICK of politicians who don't even NEED a retirement plan making statements like this that bring a very obvious attack on retirement viability for Americans. How about fixing the deficit? Shoring up corporate loopholes who can THROW AWAY retirement plans in bankruptcy court? Passing REAL fair credit laws to protect naïve Americans from incredibly high interest rates? Stop STEALING form the Social Security surplus to pay for bad government planning?
Catching Osama? Oh sorry, wrong rant, wrong topic!
#7 - "So there is a far better than average chance that you are going to see the vice president sitting in the witness chair"
Former federal prosecutor E. Lawrence Barcella Jr. speaking about Cheney potentially testifying in the Plame case
SavvyLink
Sooooo, ummmm, Larry B - Dude! You're only telling America what we've heard a thousand times. Now, tell Savvy the truth: Dick's gonna find some slick way out, right - right? Woah, Dick just shot Larry B in the face!
#6 - "We need to develop energy, here at home. ... We can't say no to everything"
Repug Rep. Richard Pombo speaking about the House's passage of his pet project: oil drilling in Alaska
SavvyLink
Savvy's Mind-Reading Fezz Goes On:
Richie P: "FINALLY - I've brought this to vote several million times, and I will bet my voters back home in CA-11 don't care. I just LOVE getting all that land for my oil buddies! Hope they keep the money shoveling in, since Delay is gone. Man, my funds are drying up!!!"
#5 - "The President also has been clear the conditions on the ground will affect whatever decisions we make."
Press Sexiness Tony Snow in today's briefing talking about Prezneato not giving a timetable for troop withdrawal in Georgie's favorite middle eastern invasion
SavvyLink
GOP Phrase Dictionary '06 -
"On the ground" = 2006 elections or whenever we get in serious trouble
#4 - "I don't intend to be a candidate ever again"
Al Gore responding to the question we all wanna know: Is he gonna run again?
SavvyLink
Savvy almost goes deaf from the many Dems' wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Say it ain't so Al!!! I bet it's a clever ploy to steer the Repugs awry... please... please.. for all the Savviness in this great country... please...
#3 - "We've taken a bill that the American people would have concluded was amnesty and by my lights, we took the amnesty out while we put the security in."
Sen. Bill "Supreme Physician Under God" Frist commenting on the final Senate immigration bill passed today
SavvyLink
Doctor Billy - If this is how you talk about anything, and insert the American people into the chat at the same time - PLEASE PLEASE win your party's nomination for Prezneato replacement in '08! We have a few low IQ Dems who could so easily win against your ultra-Savviness.
#2 - "I think inevitably some of the things that we thought were going to be the biggest challenge proved not to be, and some of the things we didn't expect to be challenges at all have proved to be immense."
Tony Blair's comments on mistakes made in the Iraq invasion
SavvyLink
Uhhhhhh, I think we can agree with that - if it weren't for the current situation: Every move you and your buddy Bush make is showing more and more collusion to make up the facts for invading Iraq. Or didn't you know you're about to be shown up by your own government and exposed, so very very soon? AwesomeDiaryOfSuperGoodness
#1 - "Not everything has turned out the way we hoped."
Bush the Prezneato talking about "setbacks" in the Iraq invasion, oops - war
SavvyLink
Let's see... Prezneato's checklist for a successful Iraq invasion:
Little Georgie's Prezneato NotePad
1 - Find Osama shacked up with Saddam in one of the love palaces - anti-homo hysteria ensues! (Note: Guarantees anti-homo marriage amendment)
2 - Locate the WMD's in Saddam's closets (Out of the closet = nukes, see #1 Note)
3 - Find all the little vials of super deadly virus thingies (Dick says they must be there somewhere, and Dick's always right)
4 - Get Jeb into the Prezneato spot in '08 (Little brother knows how to carry on God's mission, baby Jesus told me so)
Nope, I guess he has had a few setbacks. Poor guy...
