While I'm happy for both Tina Fey and Sarah Palin for topping the list, I find this particular quotation needs an addendum:

"There are no atheists in foxholes and there are no libertarians in financial crises." - Krugman, in an interview with Bill Maher on HBO's "Real Time," broadcast Sept. 19.

...except on Fark.com

sloppy shoes: ...except on Fark.com

There aren't any women on Fark.com either. Sorry. I'm actually a 13-year-old Vietnamese boy typing this on my smoke break

Really? "Yes we can" doesn't make it?

DamnYankees: Really? "Yes we can" doesn't make it?

yeah but that's not as much a quote as it is a slogan.

"Anyone who says we're in a recession, or heading into one - especially the worst one since the Great Depression - is making up his own private definition of "`recession.'" - commentator Donald Luskin, the day before Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy, The Washington Post, Sept. 14.

sage advice from the NRO's resident financial expert

thomps: yeah but that's not as much a quote as it is a slogan.

I dunno. Seems like an odd distinction. It made its fame during his NH primary loss as part of his concession speech.

You actually appear to be a dichotomous pair of lovely pussies.

But then again, you did say you were from Southeast Asia, so both descriptions could be accurate.

DamnYankees: I dunno. Seems like an odd distinction. It made its fame during his NH primary loss as part of his concession speech.

i agree that it was a really important phrase this year, especially considering the deafening pitch the "yes we can" chant got to by november. i'm just assuming that the editors had to use a lot of focused rules to cull away the mountains of stupid quotes that pile up in an election year.

5. "The fundamentals of America's economy are strong." - McCain, in an interview with Bloomberg TV, April 17.

I think I'd put this at #1...I am glad this whopper got recognition:

4. "It's not based on any particular data point, we just wanted to choose a really large number." - a Treasury Department spokeswoman explaining how the $700 billion number was chosen for the initial bailout, quoted on Forbes.com Sept. 23.

I love how the article says that Palin tops the list, but then goes on to put Fey in the number one spot.

What about cracking the glass ceiling?

/poor hillary

Nothing from Tyler Perry?

"Lipstick on a pig"?

One of these days, Sarah Palin will be the smartest person in the world. God has big plans for the world and it includes Sarah Palin.

God was a white man.

Just goes to show: beauty is skin deep, you get 15 minutes of fame, and stupid is eternal.

SchlingFocker: I love how the article says that Palin tops the list, but then goes on to put Fey in the number one spot.

I was wondering that myself.

Nobody pays attention to the 700 billion quote? I spent half of my economics class trying to figure that number out.

Am I the only one who does not find Tina Fey attractive? I understand it's incredibly trendy to do so, I just don't see it. What is it?

dreadlocksFTW: Am I the only one who does not find Tina Fey attractive? I understand it's incredibly trendy to do so, I just don't see it. What is it?

She has nice cheekbones...

Headline: Palin tops memorable quotes in 2008

"I can see Russia from my house" Tina Fey.

Though it should come to no surprise that many well informed and intelligent Obama voters thought Palin actually did say that, but I'm sure Saturday Night Live never considered that, oh no, definately not.

dreadlocksFTW: What is it?

Are you out of your Vulcan mind?

safety-math: dreadlocksFTW: Am I the only one who does not find Tina Fey attractive? I understand it's incredibly trendy to do so, I just don't see it. What is it?

She has nice cheekbones...

And sharp knees?

Without looking, I'm gonna say - "Don't tase me, bro!"

As usual, Caucasians and their funny sayings...

Funk Brothers: One of these days, Sarah Palin will be the smartest person in the world

And cockroaches will rule the world.

"Chick loves taco sauce."

Actually, she probably does. Nothing wrong with sharp knees...

"No libertarians during a financial crisis"?

BULL

SchlingFocker: I love how the article says that Palin tops the list, but then goes on to put Fey in the number one spot.

I was wondering that too...at first I thought they misquoted it, but they attribute it to Fey, not Palin(correctly)...

Considering he's piggybacking on a much older, much better quote I don't think that's a particularly worthy one :/.

Johnny Chicago: Without looking, I'm gonna say - "Don't tase me, bro!"

That would be from 2007.

"Change we can deceive in"

dreadlocksFTW: Am I the only one who does not find Tina Fey attractive? I understand it's incredibly trendy to do so, I just don't see it. What is it?

I, too, wonder about this.
She's nothing that special, so far as I've seen. Wouldn't kick her out of bed, but she's not that great.

/7 out of 10 on the attractiveness scale.

Does the Yale Book of Quotations only consider things said by American politicians? I'm sure nobody else has said anything worthwhile this year.

Hot.

Suck it, Repub scum.

bassett: "No libertarians during a financial crisis"?

BULL

My dad's a strong libertarian his whole life, gone in and out of "crises" all his life, to some degree. It's a lifelong philosophy, and most people smart enough to consider libertarianism one way or the other are smart enough to rely on themselves through a bad financial situation. Doesn't exactly mesh with "OH GOD DON'T LET THEM FARKING KILL ME OH GODOHGODOHGOD"

What, no "YOU: gun may have for me, BUT I : HABE PIZZA FOR YOU HA" ?

This list is soooo last week.

dreadlocksFTW:

She's pretty good looking. I hear she's a castrating psycho to her husband though. That's not cool.

"If it weren't for my horse, I wouldn't have spent that year in college."

For a 13 year old Vietnamese boy, you have the hottest pair of pussies I have ever seen!

I guessed #1 the moment I read the headline. I didn't even have to think about it. Pure word association.

If I told you i was shocked, I'd be lying.

No "We find the defendant Mr. Orenthal James Simpson guilty"? List is FAIL.

That actually upsets me.

I thought that they actually did some number crunching to get that number, not this bullshiat.

Christ. They should be at least trying to get a reasonable estimate, try to make the bailout as small as possible or something.

I dunno, maybe I just suck at economics

dreadlocksFTW: Am I the only one who does not find Tina Fey attractive? I understand it's incredibly trendy to do so, I just don't see it. What is it?

Yeah, just look at those sharp knees:

SchlingFocker: I love how the article says that Palin tops the list, but then goes on to put Fey in the number one spot.

That is because the writer of the article, like much of the country, thought Palin said she could see Alaska from her house.
