Default Washington Post top 11 Political quotes of 2011

11. Who?

“I don’t even know who this woman is.” — Businessman Herman Cain on Sharon Bialek, the woman accusing him of sexual harassment.

10. Blinding him with science.

“To be clear. I believe in evolution and trust scientists on global warming. Call me crazy.” — Former Utah governor Jon Huntsman via Twitter on the debate over climate change within the GOP presidential primary field.

9. The government is me.

“I am the government.” — New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on being the government.

8. Palin-ism.

“Journalists and pundits should not manufacture a blood libel that serves only to incite the very hatred and violence they purport to condemn.” — Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin responding via Facebook to the attempted assassination of Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.

7. Ubekistan.

“When they ask me who is the president of Ubeki-beki-beki-beki-stan-stan I’m going to say, you know, I don’t know. Do you know?” — Herman Cain on foreign policy.

6. Re-writing history — and not in a good way.

“You’re the state where the shot was heard around the world in Lexington and Concord.” — Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann.....in New Hampshire.

5. They’re made of people!

“Corporations are people, my friend.” — Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney in response to hecklers at the Iowa State Fair.

4. GTL

“Get the hell off the beach...you’ve maximized your tan.” — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) warning sunbathers to flee Hurricane Irene.

3. Facts are funny things.

“His remark was not intended to be a factual statement.” — Spokesman for Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) regarding the senator’s claim that abortions accounted for more than 90 percent of what Planned Parenthood does.

2. Certainly not certain.

“I can’t say with certitude.” — Then Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) on whether a lewd picture was, in fact, him.

1. One word says it all.

“Oops”. — Texas Governor Rick Perry at the end of a 50-plus second (unsuccessful) attempt to remember the third federal agency he would eliminate if elected president.

that is hilarious. i'd say the guy is lacking in perspective at best...completely historically ignorant and in la-la land at worst.

for one, he didn't mention washington, who had to invent the presidency from scratch from beginning to end. he also showed that a president could willingly relinquish power-something never before seen. i'd put him above obama in a nanosecond.
then there's polk-not ever mentioned as a great president, but he added more land to this country than any other president, including jefferson with the la purchase. polk is who was in office when we accepted texas as a state, signed the treaty that annexed california, new mexico, az. settled the border dispute with great britain regarding oregon and washington. in four years no less. i'd rank him above the egotist.
andrew jackson, definitely. no other president has an era named after him. or a party. he had both.
there's more, but that's a start right off the top of my head.

now, i'd put barack over jimmy carter and buchanan right now....that's about it. maybe harding?
