"Fat" "Tony" "Rezko": Is it wrong to buy a loaf of bread for a starving family? No? What if instead of buying bread, it's a house and instead of a starving family you do it for a wealthy politician? Would that be a crime?
Mayor Quimby: I talked with the tax-cheating, wife-swapping, pot smoking, spend-o-cratic and, until recently, illiterate mayor about his active pursuit of the "chick vote." Here's what I think he said; "I … ah … er … respect all the … er … candidates. In conclusion … I … er … Vote Quimby!"
Apu: Torn between protecting his right to get shot (and charge what he wants) and his revulsion at anti-immigrant tactics, John McCain was born for Apu.
Kent Brockman: "I've said it before and I'll say it again: Democracy just doesn't work."
Ralph Wiggim: "When we're mad we'll use our words. Then the rest of the world will play nice with us. And the only boom-booms will be in our pants." Wiggumforprez08.com.
