Healthy Ridicule - WSJ.com

James Taranto has an interesting article up about his favorite quote. A quote of Romney mocking a quote of Obama's self-aggrandizing promises:

"President Obama promised to begin to slow the rise of the oceans and to heal the planet. My promise is to help you and your family."

Quote:
What we enjoyed was the deft way in which Romney punctured Obama's self-aggrandizement--by quoting his most immodest promise ever, pausing for effect, then making an almost comically modest promise of his own.

Watching Cruz say the government does not creat jobs and then Ryan later saying that they will create jobs, someone did not get everyone on the same page. Oh, Cruz was correct, Ryan was well, Ryan was doing what he does best

CLint Eastwood: "I never thought it was a good idea for attorneys to be president."

Has anyone ever come up with a better line at any convention though than Ann Richards, talking about Bush Sr?

"Poor George. He was born with a silver foot in his mouth." Not just the words - but the way in which she presented it. Totally memorable.

Was she a Dem? I sort of remember what she looks like. She was a tough cookie. She looks like she might have been the bookkeeper/receptionist at "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas." But, instead, she ran The Republic of Texas.

Gov Susana Martinez, "I'll be DAMMED!, we're Republicans!" That made me laugh so hard.
