Quotations

I think Michael Moore is loathsome, though, not because he dislikes Bush, but because he seems to dislike America.

I mean, look, no matter how you feel about Bush, watching him speak is difficult. It's like— it's like watching a drunk man cross an icy street.

Real Time with Bill Maher, 1 October 2004

"I think it’s a total nightmare and disaster, and I’m ashamed that I went against my own instincts in supporting it (the U.S. war in Iraq). It’s something I’ll never do again. Never. I got convinced by a friend of mine who’s smarter than I am, and I shouldn’t have done that. No. I want things to work out, but I’m enraged by it, actually."

New York Observer|New York Observer, 12 May 2004

There may be countries worth invading, but I don't think we'll be invading them.

Hardball with Chris Matthews|Hardball with Chris Matthews, 11 February 2005

It's almost impossible to make the case that Bush is a conservative. That may be good; that may be bad.

Hardball with Chris Matthews, 11 February 2005

I think [Pat] Buchanan is far too easily and glibly dismissed.

Hardball with Chris Matthews, 11 February 2005

The Republican Party of 2005 bears no resemblance to the Republican Party of 1994.

Hardball with Chris Matthews, 11 February 2005

Don't take a leak on my shoes and tell me it's raining.
