"Have you seen these ads? They look a lot
like Reagan's 'Morning in America' ads with the slow motion images of regular
Americans, the new age piano music. It looks a lot like a Claritin ad. And at
the end, you hear a voice-over say, 'Ask your doctor if George Bush is right
for you. ...But it all kind of back-fired. I mean, they were all meant to be
gauzy, feel-good image ads, but a lot of people ... are pissed off because they
used images from 9/11 and the World Trade Center. The president of the firefighters'
union said it was disgraceful, there was a 9/11 widow who said, 'It made me
sick,' and there was Mel Gibson who said, 'Not enough blood.'" —Bill Maher
"The White House predicted 150,000 new jobs
for the month that just passed. The statistics came back: 21,000. But, you
know, the White House, always up for solutions through labeling. From now on,
Americans who've lost their jobs will no longer be known as 'unemployed,' they
are enjoying 'Operation Week-Day Freedom.'" —Bill Maher
