QUOTES OF NOTE

The right never, ever tells you what money does to families. Too much money can destroy a family in ways poverty never could. Not that it's good to be poor. As anyone can tell you, it sucks ass. We're creating a generation of Paris Hiltons on the backs of stolen money by CEOs. When a man lives in a multi-million dollar mansion and makes a hundred million a year, his kids are more than likely to become drug-using sybarites. Once upon a time, the rich, between their scandals, felt a need to be socially responsible. Sure, they had a mistress or two, but they gave to public causes. Now, in an era where the government defends unvarnished greed, these people have no idea of social responsibility. They are vultures on the common good.
-- Steve Gilliard, Nov. 15, 2003


But the same would be true if something happened that was difficult for Jeb or for Doro or Neil or Marvin. And you can criticize me, but don't criticize my children and don't criticize my daughters-in-law and don't criticize my husband, or you're dead.
-- Barbara Bush to Larry King, Oct. 22, 2003

Invoking the Hillary Monster has become the GOP's surest means of extracting cash from Moron-Americans who haven't already flung it away on RV excursions to Branson, Missouri or yielded to the pleas of faith-healing televangelists.
-- Gene Lyons, Oct. 15, 2003
