The year 2003 in quotes and quibbles- Seattle P-I
http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/opinion/154651_quote01.html

There are some doozies here. A whole page full of them.

<snip>

"Honestly, I think we should just trust our president in every decision that he makes, and we should just support that."

-- Britney Spears

"Our paradigm now seems to be: Something terrible happened to us on Sept. 11, and that gives us the right to interpret all future events in a way that everyone else in the world must agree with us. And if they don't, they can go straight to hell."

-- Former President Clinton

"It must be good to be in Germany and France, because I have completely forgotten what it is like to be proud of your government."

-- Actor Ed Norton

"Today I weep for my country. No more is the image of America one of strong, yet benevolent peacekeeper. ... Around the globe, our friends mistrust us, our word is disputed, our intentions are questioned. We flaunt our superpower status with arrogance. After war has ended, the United States will have to rebuild much more than the country of Iraq. We will have to rebuild America's image around the globe."

-- U.S. Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia on the evening of America's attack on Iraq

"How Bush and his junta succeeded in deflecting America's anger from bin Laden to Saddam Hussein is one of the great public relations conjuring tricks in history."

-- John Le Carré, British spy novelist

"He (President Bush) said bring it on. Well, they brought it on, and now my nephew's dead."

-- Mary Kewatt, aunt of 20-year-old American soldier Edward Herrgott, who was killed by a sniper in Baghdad on July 3

Don't insult skanks like that. She isn't worthy of such a noble title.
