Funny political quotes

"These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by griefparrazies. I have never seen people enjoying their husband's deaths so much." -Ann Coulter on 9/11 widows who have been critical of the Bush administration

=>No surprise, it's Ann Coulter again. This statement actually generated a lot of controversy and media attention (which was probably Coulter's goal in the first place), resulting in backlash against Coulter. I don't think she ever formally apologized though the widows and other reporters (not Sean Hannity of course) called upon her to do so, and I wouldn't expect her to either.

"This week, on Tuesday night, in an ironic turnaround, Iraq brought regime change to the U.S." -Amy Poehler, on the 2006 elections

=> This was from the Weekend Update segment of SNL. While the Democrats won last year because of the situation in Iraq, it was not a large enough victory to bring about real change in Iraq policy :\

"You still have to vote for us 'cause my opponent is a slug, and they're going to tax you into the poorhouse. On the way to the poorhouse, you'll meet a terrorist on every street corner. And when you try to run away from that terrorist, you will trip over an illegal immigrant." -Bill Clinton, on the Republicans' 2006 campaign strategy

=> Hahaha. While you're running away from the terrorist, you will also end up passing several abortion clinics. :)

------------------------
"I'm not going to get into a name-calling match with somebody who has a 9 percent approval rating." --Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, on Vice President Dick Cheney

=>To be fair, Cheney's approval is now up to 25% in recent 2007 polls! Yay for Cheney.

---------------------
"I purchased a gun when I was a young man. I've been a hunter pretty much all my life." -Republican Mitt Romney

=> What makes this funny is that Romney later admitted that he's been hunting once when he was 15. Of course Romney's remarks received a lot of applause from gun loving conservatives.

----------------------
"A year ago, my approval rating was in the 30s, my nominee for the Supreme Court had just withdrawn, and my Vice President had shot someone. Ahhh, those were the good old days." -President Bush at the Radio-TV Correspondents' dinner

=> It still is in the 30s!
