KARL ROVE, Bush's long-time political guru and White House advisor:
"As people do better, they start voting like Republicans...
...unless they have too much education and vote Democratic,
which proves there can be too much of a good thing."

"If all you have is a hammer, every problem starts to look like a nail."

But what if you were hired as an electrician?
 
Ah, so many good one.

Churchill and Thurber are always good sources. They loved the language.

Me, in the thick of things, I tend to say stuff like "Unass those rucks! and "You can't shoot THROUGH the damn tree!"

The best quotes must be unmeditated, I think. At least, before the fact.

That bigfoot one (among others) almost made me choke on my seltzer water:D I loved Mitch Hedberg--so sorry that he's gone.
 
"What's a green chicklet:foot: ?",:rolleyes: some noob in Whine and Chesse.

If that's too obscure, how about, "They've killed Kenny, you bastards!!" Kyle Broslofski(South Park):D

"Can you possibly be any stupider?" my Dad, to which I usually replied,"How stupid ya want me to get:eek: ?"(I usually ran after that.):D

But my all time top two favorites are:

"Of all the things I've ever lost, I miss my mind the most" Unknown

AND

"Poor managment on your part, does not constitute an emergency on my part." also Unknown.

"Blessed are You who have given each man a shield of lonliness, so that he may not forget You."

"Now maybe there's a G-d above, but all I ever learned from love, was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you."

"So here's to the few who forgive what you do, and the fewer who don't even care."
