Stupid Quotes from Members of the GOP
Sam Brownback on the return to family values:
"This is fundamental blocking and tackling. This is your line in football. If you don't have a line, how many passes can Peyton Manning complete? Greatest quarterback, maybe, in NFL history."
then, presumably after a paid consultant whispers in his ear:
"I'm not sure how I recover from this. My point is we've got to rebuild the family."
Tommy "I shouldn't have gone by 'Tommy' past the age of fourteen" Thompson after defending the right of employers to terminate their employees on the basis of their sexual orientation:
"I didn't hear the question. All I was thinking about was getting off the stage...I could not wait until the debate got off so I could go to the bathroom."
Lastly, there's John McCaine, whose name is usually preceded by "I can't believe I almost started to like." He courageously sang a little tune by the name of "Bomb Iran" set to the melody of the famous Beach Boys song, "Barbara Anne."
