wow, wish i'd seen that gem back when she first uttered it.
i think john quincy's last great effort was against the mexican-american war. his last word spoken on the house floor was 'no!' in arguing about the treaty to end it.
i wonder tho if john quincy was one of sarah palins 'favorite founding fathers'? maybe she and michelle went to the same 'history (or close enough)' class!
