Post a quote, then let people guess who said it.
I'll start:

"I get so tired listening to one million dollars here, one million dollars there, it's so petty."

17. Calvin Coolidge
http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/presidents/cc30.html

"Both his dry Yankee wit and his frugality with words became legendary. His wife, Grace Goodhue Coolidge, recounted that a young woman sitting next to Coolidge at a dinner party confided to him she had bet she could get at least three words of conversation from him. Without looking at her he quietly retorted, "You lose."

44. He also said,
"When I was on my way to the podium a gentleman stopped me and said I was as good a politician as I was an actor. What a cheap shot."

He once said, "Gay marriage should be between a man and a woman."

20. Here are a few by someone I respect
"When you're trying to pull off a really big hustle, you have to keep saying the exact opposite of the truth with a straight face until people start believing that black is white" (regarding the bush administration)

"Bill O'Reilly is the best reason for censorship I have ever seen"

"1984 was supposed to be a warning, not a guidebook for how to run an administration"

"A half asleep, ill informed public is the best thing that ever happened to politicians who want to manipulate us"

"In this country, we've got maybe two million people who read, but nearly three hundred million people with opinions"

"They don't trust me because they're afraid once I am on the air, I'll tell the truth. I don't trust them because I know they won't" (regarding the msm)

"If the human body is obscene, complain to the manufacturer"

"To keep our Democracy on it's toes, I believe we all need to throw a little tea over the side from time to time" (I wonder what Cindy Sheehan would say about that...)

26. Not rummy...,
perhaps a tiny clue: He is VERY well known, most either hate him a lot or love him a lot....few are non-judgmental of him.

I kinda want to give a better clue but part of me is curious to see who folks may think would or could say such things!

He is as big or bigger than Michael Moore, been on everyones radar for a lot longer though. The answer is staring right at you! Here is a big clue, go back to my post of quotes: I quoted him 9 times in that post! (Even bigger hint: I quoted that same quote in every one of my posts including this one!)

53. No...Larry Flynt
I love listening to Mike Malloy, sadly he does not think with the same street smarts as Mr. Flynt.
"I never thought about the First Amendment and civil liberties until I was facing a judge who was set on putting me away for 20 years" After all those arrests, trials incarcerations, and finally being sentenced to a wheelchair by a mad would-be assassin's bullets, Flynt was born again as a human being....in the process he became an uncompromising brawler for the freedom of all. They call him a bottom feeder, he agrees and responds "But look what I found at the bottom!" (Quotes from "Sex Lies and Politics")

He has been fighting against political hypocrisy for decades, it can be argued this man saved Bill Clinton's Presidency. He did not have to expose the sexual peccadilloes of the oh so moral right wingers who accused Bill Clinton... he continues even now to go after those who would use hypocrisy to further their agendas to the detriment of the American people.

If Mike Malloy has yet to have Larry Flynt on as a guest, now would be a great time in that Mr. Flynt is currently working on exposing about 30 such hypocrites within our government. I have no doubts his efforts will have dramatic affects on the upcoming election.

23. Adventure is something you seek for pleasure,
or even for profit, like a gold rush or invading a country; ... but experience is what really happens to you in the long run; the truth that finally overtakes you.
