Top Quotations of 2006

[Scot LaFaive]

"'The greatest thing about this man is he's steady. You know where he
stands. He believes the same thing Wednesday that he believed on Monday, no
matter what happened Tuesday. Events can change; this man's beliefs never
will." Stephen Colbert referring to Bush.

"Are you going to ask that question with shades on?" Bush to a blind
reporter.
