A team will pick the 5 or 10 bmost anal statements at the end of the year and they will be posted and everyone may vote on which is the most anal. The winner will be presented with the 2008 Assie award.

It is something that Jonas Prising, of Manpower Inc said about the dismal economic report just days ago.

“The economy is strong from a historical perspective”.

17 Jan 08

Yet another anal statement. This one comes from the ABC show, The View, Sherri Shepard, you remember her, she thinks the world is flat and that it did not exist before 5000 years ago. Not the sharpest pencil in the box. But I digress. She showed a pic of her with Shirley Ceasar and she said that, “Shirley Ceasar was like a black Patti LaBelle”.

12 Feb 08

This one is from Tom DeLay, the former majority leader. He was interviewed on MSNBC, during their coverage of CPAC. When asked about global warning, oh sorry, conservs call it climate change, he actually said.

“There is no scientific proof that people are responsible for climate change”. Tom DeLay

This one came from the mouth of Conservative talk show personality Tom Sullivan. Recently he said on the air that:

“Listening to Obama speeches is similar to listening to the speeches of Adolf Hitler”.

23 Feb 08

This one is from a now defunct repub presidential candidate, Mitt Romney. You remember him? The rich guy that pissed away a lot of his personal fortune trying to be the next Reagan. HA!

“Liberals are opponents of American culture”. Mitt Romney

17 April 08

This one was actually said in 1999, by Hillary Clinton when talking to her hubby about Serbia and the need to bomb.

” What do we have NATO for if not to defend our way of life?”

02 May 08

“Just and open societies protect and rely on the freedom of the press,” Bush said in a statement marking World Press Freedom Day, which falls on Saturday.

“Brutal regimes and others who seek to stifle liberty often do so by closing down private newspapers and radio and television stations. They kidnap, arbitrarily jail, and beat journalists,”

03 May 08

The hits just keep coming! HA! McCain and the Repubs keep trying to force feed the public that the Dem proposals on health care are somehow “creeping socialism”. My friends(to quote McCain) that is pure bullsh*t. But this statement is very amusing.

“But before you decide to sign on to that kind of a program, go to Canada, or go to European countries that have government-run health care systems,” he continued. “My friends, they don’t work, they’re inefficient, and they end up in a two-tiered system where the wealthiest can afford to pay for their own health care and those with low income sometimes wait six or eight months for a routine kind of treatment. And that’s what I’m not going to let happen to the United States of America.” from a speech of McCain

05 May 08

This from Vice President Dick Cheney, who spoke to a crowd of Oklahoma Republicans Friday evening.

“When the history is written, it will be said this is a safer country and more hopeful world because George Bush was president,” Cheney said, according to Oklahoma’s Tulsa World.

Of Iraq, Cheney quipped: “Our strategy is the right strategy. The only way we can lose is to quit.

This is the list that was posted on another of my blogs and from now on any anal statements I find I will post here and hopefully all will join in when it is time to pick the most Anal statement of the year.
