Contemptible quotes from insufferable assholes

Fellow Americans,

Right now, America is in crisis: we have been besieged by financial debt, terrorism, and a multitude of natural disasters. As a nation, we must come together and call upon Jesus to guide us through unprecedented struggles, and thank Him for the blessings of freedom we so richly enjoy.

Some problems are beyond our power to solve, and according to the Book of Joel, Chapter 2, this historic hour demands a historic response. Therefore, on August 6, thousands will gather to pray for a historic breakthrough for our country and a renewed sense of moral purpose.

I sincerely hope you’ll join me in Houston on August 6th and take your place in Reliant Stadium with praying people asking God’s forgiveness, wisdom and provision for our state and nation. There is hope for America. It lies in heaven, and we will find it on our knees. [REFER The Response.] [REFER Rob Boston article.]

"This correspondence is your formal notice that should the video images not be removed from the internet and a written retraction relating to the scandalous remarks be received forthwith, that I anticipate being instructed to commence an action in the Superior Court of justice of [Province]. Significant damages and full legal costs will be sought."

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I do not play well with bullies.

“I don’t mind being wrongly smeared with all this #Hackgate stuff, I’d just rather it wasn’t done by liars, druggie ex-bankrupts and conmen,” the CNN interviewer said via Twitter. Then, later, “I’ll be making no further comment on this #Hackgate nonsense.”

If only my accusers had more class. Dreadful!

Candidate Rob Ford, October 2010

For years, our city has spent more money than it brings in. Instead of fixing the problem, we’ve kept passing the buck to “next year.” Well, next year has arrived.... If we are going to reduce spending… and ladies and gentlemen, we must reduce our spending… it only makes sense to take the time to figure out which things are “must haves” and which things are “nice to haves.”

“Wall Street is our Main Street — love ’em or hate ’em. They are important and we have to make sure we are doing everything we can to support them unless they are doing something indefensible.”

~ Kathryn S. Wylde, a member of the board of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, scolding NY Attorney General Schneiderman for bringing a lawsuit against Wall Street.

When I said "change we can believe in" I didn't say "change we can believe in tomorrow." Not change we can believe in next week.

JON MEACHAM 'homily for an Evensong in Commemoration of 9/11'

“A day like September 11 reminds us of the essential fragility of all things. We reacted as a great people, a people imbued with a moral sensibility and a passion for liberty and for order. You and I can argue about the details of the American response, about the tactics and the wars. But the power and the glory of this republic lie precisely there, in the freedom to argue and to grumble - and, ultimately, in the freedom to hope that our arguments, conducted within history, can shape history.

“The terrorists who brought war to this island a decade ago believed they were agents of God. They were not. They were - they are - agents of evil, driven by a will to power. It was the most extreme expression imaginable of the most ancient sin of all: the sin of pride, of believing you are not a subject of God’s but a god yourself. This is the perversion that cost us Eden. So it was that the terrorists of 9/11 were 21st-century serpents - lineal descendants of that first spineless snake who slithered through the garden. Love and remembrance: such is the legacy of September 11 and its aftermath. It is the same legacy, in fact, as Good Friday — a day of death that ultimately affirmed life.”

Brian Williams: Iraq war was an ‘elective war’.

More than seven years after the invasion of Iraq, NBC’s Brian Williams has decided that it was an “elective war.”

Williams told NBC’s Joe Scarborough Monday that he came to the conclusion during over the weekend during events observing the 10th year after the 9/11 attacks.

“Having listened to a lot of discussions on the war in Iraq at a lot of gatherings, I’ve settled on the word elective,” Williams explained. “It was an elective war on the part of [President] George W. Bush because none of those pilots [who carried out the 9/11 attacks] were Iraqi, because none of the people in those planes were Iraqi, and because as a wounded nation, we gave a president, in effect, a blank check.”

That Brian Williams is one sharp guy.

Well, he does have a bit of a pointy head.

This is what we get from "journalists" these days. He's paid a lot of money to pretend to be one.

I have to tell you this: I am a huge fan of Sarah Palin. Cause she’s rad. She’s shrewd. She’s cool. Because at the end of the day, I’m for the people, because this is the United States of America...this is what America’s really about.
