Quotes of the day!

All of these from this rather interesting Newsweek article.

"Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast,"

- Unnamed McCain campaign staff, describing how Sarah Palin was told to purchase three suits and hire a stylist before going on her $150,000 shopping spree, that apparently included, ABOVE that total, another $20-40K in clothes for her husband and numerous presents for her children, which she forced staffers to put on their personal credit cards and which are just now being reimbursed.

I often find myself trapped by the questions and thinking to myself, 'You know, this is a stupid question, but let me … answer it.' So when Brian Williams is asking me about what's a personal thing that you've done [that's green], and I say, you know, 'Well, I planted a bunch of trees.' And he says, 'I'm talking about personal.' What I'm thinking in my head is, 'Well, the truth is, Brian, we can't solve global warming because I f---ing changed light bulbs in my house. It's because of something collective'."

- Barack Obama

It's quoted as being a recording of him while preparing for one of the debates.

This whole newsweek thing is kind of cool, increased access in exchange for 12-6 months of forced silence. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.
