Most Obnoxious Quotes Of 2007

Two sources for this, actually.

First, John Hawkins over at Right Wing News has what he calls the 40 Most Obnoxious Quotes Of 2007. [1]

Example:

33) “I do believe that it’s the first time in history that fire has ever melted steel. I do believe that it defies physics that World Trade Center tower 7 — building 7, which collapsed in on itself — it is impossible for a building to fall the way it fell without explosives being involved. World Trade Center 7. World Trade [Center] 1 and 2 got hit by planes — 7, miraculously, the first time in history, steel was melted by fire. It is physically impossible.” — Rosie O’Donnell [2] talks Trutherism

And McQ, over at Q&O, [3] puts forward some of his brilliant list of favorite quotes, within context of other quotes from the same folks. As an example:

Carl Levin in March, 1999:

“Whether we like it or not, the Balkans is an important crossroads. [.] This is not the time to take risks in undermining those efforts. Those who insist on a debate at this particular moment should think again, or they bear the responsibility for the possible consequences of their actions.” – Democratic Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin, Congressional record, March 11, 1999

Carl Levin in Feb, 2007:

“I don’t want to put a specific number on (how many troops we want to withdraw from Iraq) because that really should be left to the commanders who decide how many would be needed to carry out those limited functions. But we’ve got to-the issue we’re facing, the key issue is do we want American troops in the middle of a civil war. That’s the fundamental issue which we want to debate. We’ve been wanting to debate that for many, many weeks, but, of course, we were filibustered before.” – Carl Levin on Meet The Press, Feb 25, 2007

You get the idea.
