Here we go folks. These are the Top 10 quotes of the year that highlight the most absurd and ridiculous events of the year.
1. Now does anybody remember Andrew Meyer? Our first quote comes from the infamous University of Florida incident, where Andrew Meyer was tased by multiple police officers and cried out, "Don't Tase Me, Bro!". Within two days, this phrase was all over the Internet and showed up on rings tones, t-shirts, and who knows what else.
2. Poor lil Lauren Upton or should we say poor lil South Carolina. During the Miss Teen America Contest in August, Upton spoke very seriously about education. Here is a private reenactment of this splendid display of spokesman ship.
Host: Miss. South Carolina your question is??? Why do you think that one-fifth of Americans are unable to locate the Unite States on the Map?"
Upton answered..."I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because some people out there in our nation don't have maps and I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and Iraq and everywhere like such as I believe that they should our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S. or should help South Africa and should help Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future for us."
Truth be told, I do not think she could have answered any better if she tried. South Carolina must be so proud.
3. Now who could forget Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinedjad's famous words during his Columbia University lecture. "In Iran we don't have homosexuals like in your country." You're working with America now. Better watch your back or your foot. You never know when you might feel a little tap.
4. Shock Jock Don Imus. Do I really need to say more? He has always delighted us with his fun-loving racial antics (obvious sarcasm). One most remembered comment was to the Rutger University women's basketball team: "That's some nappy-headed hos there".
5. "I don't recall." I don't recall what I was supposed to be talking about. But, maybe if Former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales could give me a little information....damn he doesnt recall either.
6. "There is only three things he (Mayor Rudy Guiliani) mentions in a sentence: a noun and a verb and 9/11." Senator Joseph Biden is always on the look out for bad grammar and education. But one question remains. What about Dela-Where?
7. It is a known fact that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (Democrat) doesn't like name calling. As he states here "I'm not going to get into a name calling match with somebody who has a 9 percent approval rating." Obviously, somebody is jealous of Cheney's big 9 percent.
8. Idaho Republican Senator Larry Craig stated that "I have a wide stance when going to the bathroom." After questioning the propositioned police officer and the Senator's wife this statement was proven false. Very false.
9. "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man." This is how Biden chose to describe rival Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. My question is...and slavery ended when?
10. Last, but not at all least, Former President Jimmy Carter, in an interview in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette newspaper, said "I think as far as the adverse impact on the nation around the world, this administration has been the worst in history." Obviously, Alzheimers
has taken quite a toll on somebody's memory.
