Quote of the Year

We doubt that we are going to hear a better quote this year than this gem from Missouri Democrat representative Emmanuel Cleaver. Describing the US debt deal, Cleaver proclaimed:

"This deal is a sugar-coated Satan sandwich. If you lift the bun, you will not like what you see."

The "sugar-coated Satan sandwich" remark is going to go down as the defining comment of the debt debacle, given that it was uttered by one of President Obama's own. The deal now is signed, sealed and delivered; time will tell whether the debt crisis has been averted, or merely deferred.

I read an even better one somewhere-

"we were driving the car towards the cliff at 75 mph, and now we've backed off to 74mph."

Raising the debt limit to cure the monetry crisis is a bit like raising the blood/alcohol level to cure the drink/driving problem.
