From the mindand mouthof "America's Most Quotable Senator":
- Always be yourself . . . unless you suck.
- I say this gently: This is why the aliens wont talk to us.
- If you trust government, you obviously failed history class.
- I believe that our country was founded by geniuses, but its being run by idiots.
- Always follow your heart . . . but take your brain with you.
- Im not going to Bubble Wrap it: The water in Washington, D.C., wont clear up until you get the pigs out of the creek.
- I have the right to remain silent but not the ability.
- Common sense is illegal in Washington, D.C., I know. Ive seen it firsthand.
- I believe that we are going to have to get some new conspiracy theories. All the old ones turned out to be true.
