“AXE body spray has a new product for women. I’m guessing it’s mace.”
“Nation, it is the eve of the New Hampshire primary, when the folks in villages of Dixville Notch and Fiddler’s Cyst and Tinkler’s Sack exercise their Constitutional right to end the primaries before the rest of us can vote.”
“YES!!! ‘Bout damn time! Let’s get our troops back into Iraq! We’ve been out for… almost two weeks now!”
“The speed of light. Not figuratively, literally. Folks, forget nuclear weapons. Iran has developed the warp drive. Those centrifuges were actually enriching dilithium crystals. And unless we stop them, Captain Mahmoud Ahmad-kirk-ejad will soon be getting it on with 72 space virgins.”
“Yes, 572 years is a little bit older than the Constitution, but it still applies. Remember, the Magna Carta was written by angry, rich men who believed their ruler was an illegitimate usurper.”
“Let our longbowmen go!”
“I don’t think it’s any secret that I am a huge fan of Rick Santorum. I have loved him ever since his work in Davey and Goliath.”
“Rick Santorum is not embracing the racial stereotype that black people are all on welfare. As he said, he just got a little tongue-tied. Who hasn’t been there? You’re talking a lot, you’re giving speech after speech, and you stumble over your words like a drunken Irishmaaaaa… people. The point is, sometimes the tongue gets lazy. Probably because it’s Mexicaaaaa… people. Bottom line, don’t trust what you hear in the media, we all know it’s controlled by the Jewwwww…s. People. Now that might seem anti-Semitic, but I’m pretty sure I didn’t say Jews.”
“The real point of the book isn’t that there are these bad things that these other folks are doing to African-American women, the real point of the book is that it matters how we feel about ourselves. African-American women’s internal life experiences are part of the American story. So when we’re listening, for example, to the GOP rhetoric about this nostalgia of this America when things were simpler and better, you can never tell that story if you bother to think about African-American women’s experience. Because there’s no moment in American history where it is nostalgic and better to have been a little black girl. And so what we do is we put black women’s stories at the center of the American story, and all of a sudden the American story takes on a very, very different resonance and trajectory.” – Melissa Harris-Perry
