QOTY

[Jonathan Lighter]

If he'd said, "We need more hard work, rugged individualism, and personal
reponsibility," few would have objected.

But that wouldn't be in the running for QOTY, would it?

Controversially phrased, off-topic, fascinating political observation:

Pundits say that by cannily declining to run, former small-town beauty queen
Sarah Palin becomes "kingmaker" and "most powerful Republican of them all,"
as candidates grovel for her coveted endorsement.
