Quotes of the day

Israel’s U.N. ambassador, Dan Gillerman, responded at the New York rally:

“To those countries in there who claim that we’re using disproportionate force, I have only this to say: You’re damn right we are. Because if your cities were shelled the way ours were, if your citizens were terrorized the way ours are, you would use much more force than we are using.’‘

--From The Yeshiva World

White House Press Secretary Tony Snow answering Helen Thomas's irrational questions:

"Thank you for the Hezbollah view" -- watch the hilarious exchange here.

DNC Chairman Howard Dean showing why you should never politicize war:

“If you think what's going on in the Middle East today would be going on if the Democrats were in control, it wouldn't, because we would have worked day after day after day to make sure we didn't get where we are today. We would have had the moral authority that Bill Clinton had when he brought together the Northern Irish and the IRA, when he brought together the Israelis and the Palestinians.”

--From Tailrank

That's right. Bill Clinton had the "moral authority that brought the together the Israeli's and the Palestinians." Aside from ol' Bill not knowing what the word "moral" meant. wasn't it during the Clinton years that the second Intifada broke out? You know, the one where Oslo was finally buried?

Beween the three of these, I love Gillerman's the best. For sheer entertainment value, nothing beats watching Helen Thomas getting bitch-slapped. But for sheer lunacy, Howierd Dean tops them all - again!
