HISTORICAL QUOTE OF THE DAY

"If could cut funding for Medicare, Medicaid, education, and the environment, middle-class Americans would see fewer benefits from their tax dollars, feel more resentful paying taxes, and become even more receptive to their appeals for tax cuts and their strategy of waging campaigns on divisive social and cultural issues like abortion, gay rights, and guns"

-- Bill Clinton, in his 2004 memoirs, My Life, making the same argument as Sen Barack Obama

BONUS QUOTE OF THE DAY

"I'm going to tell you something: That boy's finger does not need to be on the button"

-- Rep Geoff Davis (R-KY), quoted by NBC News, about Sen Barack Obama He later issued an apology to Obama, essentially saying he misspoke

Did he apologize publicly or only privately? Very old trick -- say what you want, get it out there, then apologize in private later. Guess the MSM is going to be forgiving about this one!

This seems to be another case of the Mysterious Missing Information from the MSM! At least MSNBC has it on their First Read Page and Olbermann covered it.
