After withdrawing his name for commerce secretary, Sen. Judd Gregg said he hoped he was just embarrassing himself and not President Obama, to which Joe Biden said, 'Don't worry about it. I do it all the time.'" --Jay Leno

Miss India quote



---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Anoop Bhat

Hehe...just heard on "Miss India Worldwide" , in response to what she would do if she won the crown.." I have always been interested to help the needies"
 
Reminds me of the time we were exchanging much-abused work-cliches (and their mangled versions), a colleague came up with what his old once sent him: a request to "pls do the needy".

Bush Satire

"The fact is, this shows that 'voodoo economics' is a disaster, just like I
said," said George H.W. Bush, who coined the phrase to describe
Reagonomics<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaganomics#cite_note-24>,
economics based on Reagan's belief that giving everything to the rich would
fill the coffers of the poor. "I knew Reagonomics was bad in 1978, but it
took my son to prove how much it really sucks."

Corey interview

Corey is a teenager in australia who celebrated his 16th bday by inviting
over 500 people off facebook, who trashed the neighbourhood, cops had to be
called in.
In this interview, he has no regrets. Its hilarious. Also, aussie accents
are the best

 

Teen cult hero and *Big Brother* intruder Corey Worthington has reportedly
banked $200,000 since exploding onto the national scene at the start of the
year — and now he has a movie in the works.

His agent Max Markson was coy about discussing figures, saying his net worth
fell "well short" of the claim, but told the *Courier-Mail* his client was
getting a lot more than the proverbial 15 minutes out of his fame.

"I will say he has done very, very well for himself over the past few months
and I am very proud of him," he said.

"This is only the beginning for him."

 

Bushism


"I've abandoned free market principles to save the free market system."
--George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., Dec. 16, 2008
