I, like a lot of liberals who oppose the war, always have hard time answering the question: So, don't you think Saddam Hussein was a bad person? The answer is yes, but I don't think that we should have preemptively attacked Iraq. But, that argument gets lost. Along comes Madeline Albright to save the day:

Well, I'm very glad that Saddam Hussein is gone, and I really admire the Iraqi people for voting. But I don't think that there are a lot of countries in the Middle East or in other parts of the world that say, "I would like my country to look just like that." (Madeline Albright on Real Time with Bill Maher on May 06, 2005)

Of course, while I'm quoting Bill Maher, I have to include this one. I'm voting for Teresa-Hillery in 2008.

And to be a Democrat means...I don't know...In the last election, George Bush called John Kerry "a coward, a liar, a wimp, a flip- flopper and a war criminal." And Kerry got so incensed, he almost fell off his windsurfer. It's bad when the person in your party with the biggest balls is named Teresa. (Bill Maher)
