more new "old sayings"

[Jonathan Lighter]

Connie Schultz, journalist, interviewed on CNN: "I love that saying about
resentment, 'You drink the poison, and you expect the other person to
suffer.'"

She also cited another "saying," : "It's not what they call you; it's what
you answer to."

BONUS: "is is...is"

Ron Susskind to Howard Kurtz: "The fact is is, Howie, is that..."

Stammer? Or straw in the wind? (It didn't sound like a classic stammer, but
that's only my opinion.)
