05.17.06: So get the @#$! out!

If you are a thug, if you are a crook, if you are a murderer or a rapist or a bunco artist or a felon, you don’t really add any value, and the only person you can blame is yourself. So I have no sympathy for your cause because your misconduct, your mean, hateful, cheating behavior has disqualified you—and too bad. You don’t add value.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R, SC)

No, really, tell us how you really feel, Senator! Seriously, this could be my favorite quote from the Immigration Bill. I'm going to run around, sneering "You don't add value" down my nose at people. It'll be the new hot trend for summer.

05.09.06: Seriously, Do I Have to Keep Going Over This?

[It's] like somebody going to Costco and buying toilet paper one roll at a time.

Sen. Ron Wyden (D, OR)

The phrase "toilet paper" has been mentioned five times in the Congressional Record since the beginning of the year. Four times by you, Sen Wyden (Don't look so smug, Sen. Dodd!). Can't we talk about buying eggs one at a time? Decorum. Really. PS - Nice shout-out to Costco. Fundraiser coming up?

It would be helpful if the other side would actually share the details of their amendment with us so that we can take a look at it...[i]t is hard to do until we have a copy.

Sen. Michael Enzi (R, WY)

And can I please get a mop for this pool of sarcasm? So much for bipartisanship.

"I never thought I would say: California does something right."

Sen. Richard Burr (R, NC)

And I'm sure your good friends from California appreciate you damning them with faint praise. See you in committee, baby!

"I do not even know what a trillion is..."

Sen. Judd Gregg (R, NH)
02.28.05

The budget is how many trillion? And they don't even know what one is? Yes, ladies and gentlemen, these are the people controlling your tax dollars. And you elected them.
