Quoted: California Congressman Darrell Issa (need I say he's a Republican?) has introduced a bill to restore honor to the White House by prohibiting Michelle Obama from doing any substantive work. ...

I'm very excited to see what Hillary is going to do for women around the world as Sec. of State.

Quoted: Our foreign policy must reflect our deep commitment to help millions of oppressed people around the world. And of particular concern to me is the plight of women and girls, who comprise the majority of the world's unhealthy, unschooled, unfed, and unpaid. If half the world's population remains vulnerable to economic, political, legal and social marginalization, our hope of advancing democracy and prosperity is in serious jeopardy. The United States must be an unequivocal and unwavering voice in support of women's rights in every country on every continent.

This is a hilarious and very harsh list of the 50 most loathsome people in America. They saved the best for last of course -- terrifyingly true.

Quoted: She made it further than any other woman, but the barriers for a woman becoming president remain high.

Robert Smigel on why Hillary won't win. Makes a lot of sense, actually...especially the last sentence. Very unfortunate.

Quoted: Baggage. That's the reason that she isn't getting in, pretty much. I have never seen a candidate come into a race with so much baggage and be so prejudged as Hillary Clinton. I've always been amazed at the magnitude of hatred a certain segment of the public has for her. It's a combination of factors: There's the sexist side of it that she's a strong woman that doesn't always convey a big sense of humor. Not that there are a lot of male candidates who are necessarily cut-ups either. There's that, then there's the fact that the Clintons are basically the most successful Democratic politicians of the last 30 years, and thus became lightning rods for the opposition. You put those two things together, sexism and partisanship. You couldn't build a candidate that had more baggage than Hillary. Those two things. It's pretty incredible. No candidate has ever demonstrated in an unwitting way how wrong-headed the way we make decisions about who will run our country really is.

Quoted: The comedy veteran and co-writer of You Don't Mess With The Zohan talks about mixing laughs and politics and the art of the dick joke.

Go Biden! I wish more Dems would be this blunt about the Bush administration.

Quoted: The chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Joe Biden, D-Delaware, called President Bush’s comments accusing Sen. Barack Obama and other Democrats of wanting to appease terrorists "bullshit" ... "[Bush] is the guy who’s weakened us. He’s the guy that’s increased the number of terrorists in the world. His policies have produced this vulnerability the United States has. His intelligence community pointed that out not me."

It's nice to know that while Tinky Winky is ensuring a future of gay boys, American Girl dolls are securing abortions of the future for girls everywhere. Hey, maybe they'll cancel each other out!

Quoted: A grass-roots revolt against American Girl dolls gathers steam.
