Don't tase me, bro

That was the number one quote of 2007, according to the editor of the Yale Book of Quotations. Some more of my favorites:

"In Iran, we don't have homosexuals ..." ~ the president of Iran

"There's only three things he mentions in a sentence: a noun and a verb and 9/11." ~ Joe Biden, about Rudy Giuliani

"I think as far as the adverse impact on the nation around the world, this administration has been the worst in history." ~ Jimmy Carter

Slate.com has a "Trailhead" piece about political anagrams. Examples for the past:

H. Ross Perot = "Short Poser"
Spiro Agnew = "Grow A Penis"

They had a list for this year's political candidates. My favorite:

Dennis Kucinich = "Nine-Inch Dick, U.S."

Maybe that explains how he attracted such a hot wife.

gosh - I've never seen Kucinich before - he looks like a ventriloquist dummy, oui? Yup - she's way hotter. (and younger, obviously)

Really says something about us that the number one quote is a guy begging the cops not to use a torture device on him.

Nolo, what's worse is most of us just laugh it off without really questioning whether or not it's right.
