Patrick Henry: I know not what course others may take, but as for me, screw him.
Sir, if you were my husband, I would poison your drink.
–Lady Astor to Winston Churchill
Madam, if John Kerry was President, I would drink it.
–His reply
Sir Winston Churchill: “All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom; justice; honor; duty; mercy; hope. That’s why Kerry is so goddamn long-winded.”
Edison: Genius is 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration, and 0% marrying some rich bitch and pretending to be French. Yeah, I’m looking at you, Lurch.
MLK:
I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. Which means that Kerry probably won’t be hiring any of them, either.
Shakespeare:
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
Till the last syllable of recorded time
And it’s still more interesting than listening to Kerry speak.
Justice OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES, Virginia v. West Virginia, 222 U.S. 19
Churchill:
I may be drunk, but you’re John Kerry, and I’ll be sober in the morning.
More Churchill-isms on Kerry:
“Kerry is the worst form of Democrat except for all those others that have been tried.”
“There is nothing more debilitating than to be nominated without result.”
“The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with John Kerry.”
“Don’t talk to me about Vietnam sedition. Kerry’s nothing but rum, sodomy and the lash.” Did I say Kerry? Sorry, I meant Kennedy.
“A lie gets halfway around the world before Kerry has a chance to get his pants on.” Darn, I wrote Kerry again when I mant Kennedy. Sorry.
And in all seriousness… “Those who can win a war well can rarely make a good peace and those who could make a good peace would never have won the war.”
And who can forget: “Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say: ‘Kerry? Screw him.’”
God: “Thou shalt not…”
Nah, too easy.
This day is called the feast of Crispian:
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say ‘John Kerry, man does that guy suck’.
Groucho Marx: “That was no candidate, that was John Kerry.”
Mark Twain:
1. “Suppose you were an imbecile. And suppose you were John Kerry. Ah, but I repeat myself.”
2. “He is of no value above the ground; he should be beneath it, inspiring the cabbages.”
3. “America has no distinctly native criminal class – except Democrats. Especially John Kerry.”
William Shakespeare:
1. “A fool, A fool! I met a fool i
And for entertainment there’s always John Kerry as… Nathan Hale: “I regret that I have but one medal to throw away for my country.”
Too obvious, but what the hell…
JFK
“Ask not what you can do to your country, but what your country can do for you.”
“‘Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the house
Not a creature was stirring
Except for those four assholes coming in the rear in standard two-by-two cover formation trying to get me to vote for John Kerry.”
“And John Kerry is toast!”
(Sorry, Jeff, your title didn’t specify that the personage in question either had to be famous or not from a movie…)
Die Hard!
