Week in Review Quotes

• "For the three fans of ABC’s maltreated Commander in Chief, the finale will air at 10 p.m. Wednesday. Let’s hope that when a woman does run for president, her campaign is managed better than this series."--Molly Willow in the Columbus (OH) Dispatch

• "You are safer in a uniform in Iraq than as a baby in the womb of an American woman at a Planned Parenthood office."--Rush Limbaugh in response to Democrat hysteria over the 2,500th death of U.S. military in three years in Iraq. Where is their hysteria while 3,700 American children are aborted each day (and worldwide a staggering 126,000 are aborted each day)??? Oh, there is no hysteria over abortion because it's in their platform! In a heart-warming concluding section called "A Strong American Community," the 2004 Democratic Party Platform says : "We will defend the dignity of all Americans against those who would undermine it. Because we believe in the privacy and equality of women, we stand proudly for a woman's right to choose, consistent with Roe v. Wade, and regardless of her ability to pay. We stand firmly against Republican efforts to undermine that right. At the same time, we strongly support family planning and adoption incentives. Abortion should be safe, legal, and rare." Once again they only "believe in the privacy and equality of women" and "defend the dignity of all Americans" who manage to be born despite their abortion policies! And of course don't we want all of our "rights" to be "safe, legal, and rare"?!?! (3,700 abortions a day is rare?) I wonder if they will defend the dignity of all Americans against those who would undermine it if it turns out to be themselves?

• "On the morning the sheriff showed up, I spotted them (fellow protestors) and called out. She was on the rope and up the tree in about three minutes. It was an amazing athletic feat."--John Quigley on Daryl Hannah's tree climbing ability.

• "The entire country may disagree with me, but I don't understand the necessity for patriotism. Why do you have to be a patriot? About what? This land is our land? Why? You can like where you live and like your life, but as for loving the whole country, I don't see why people care about patriotism."-- Natalie Maines, lead singer of The Dixie Chicks. This "Chick" really doesn't get it, does she? How much longer are they going to hang onto that "Dixie" part of their name; it's now a definite misnomer.
