Verbatim

"You hear about the big issues we are dealing with everyday on the Senate floor through conventional media. But this morning I want to let you know about an issue we are hitting head on ... the Boy Scouts" -- "Dr." Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (VOLPAC update email).

um, with Terrorist buying weapons in the US, with more and more Americans without health insurance, the dollar losing value, the economy in the crapper, and Iraq still unstable as Jello in an earthquake, the BSA should be at the bottom of that pile (yes even less pressing than steroids in baseball).

And just to be fair to both sides, he's a money dumb quote from the Hollywood left:

"I so agree with your prime minister that the European Union should not remove the ban against selling arms to China" -- Richard Gere, promoting "Shall We Dance?" in Tokyo (Reuters).

How many different ways do we have to tell actors that we don't care about their politics? When was the last time people were influenced by what Gere thinks we should do policy wise (let alone the EU or Japan)?
