Département des citations complètement connes

Linda Lapointe, de l'ADQ :
Moi, j'en ai fait quatre, mais l'idéal c'est d'en faire au moins deux. (...) Alors si on peut mettre un focus là-dessus


Encourager la natalité, soit; mais il me semble que faire des enfants nécessite un traitement un peu plus nuancé que celui d'un téléthon. "Encore un effort, les gens à la maison, on est à 145 bébés de battre le record de l'année dernière!"


Mais il y a pire : Geraldine Ferraro, candidate démcorate à la vice-présidence en 1984, et proche conseillère de Hillary Clinton.
If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman of any color, he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept.

La meilleure réplique jusque ici est venue d'un blogueur de The Atlantic : "Cause, you know, running as a black guy named Barack Hussein Obama is so easy".

Après avoir comparé Obama à un Jesse Jackson deux, après l'avoir fonci dans des publicités, après avoir joué la carte raciale pour gagner des votes, on accuse Obama - le seul sénateur noir présentement - d'être chanceux d'être noir. La seule chose qui pourrait être pire c'est... Oh, c'est fait. Ferraro, s'expliquant :

Every time that campaign is upset about something, they call it racist. I will not be discriminated against because I’m white.

Le triste sort tragique des blancs aux États-Unis, ce mal trop souvent oublié. Donnez généreusement pour soutenir Ferraro, Mark Penn et ces autres pauvres blancs victimes de discrimination de la classe noire dominante.

Olbermann l'a complètement démolie hier soir. C'était beau à voir.

Oh, et l'intégralité de sa lettre de démission:

"Dear Hillary –

I am stepping down from your finance committee so I can speak for myself and you can continue to speak for yourself about what is at stake in this campaign.

The Obama campaign is attacking me to hurt you. I won't let that happen.

Thank you for everything you have done and continue to do to make this a better world for my children and grandchildren.

You have my deep admiration and respect.

Gerry"

Oui. C'est ça. La campagne d'Obama attaque Ferraro. As-tu vu la réaction d'Obama aux commentaires de Ferraro? On le voit se retenir VRAIMENT fort pour ne pas dire quelque chose et ça sort à peu près comme suit: "I think those comments are..........ridiculous. And wrongheaded."

Je le respecte. J'y serais allé plus fort.

Christo, Obama est meilleur que nous.

Je cite le passage le plus approprié (quoique tout le discours est approprié)

"For we have a choice in this country. We can accept a politics that breeds division, and conflict, and cynicism. We can tackle race only as spectacle -- as we did in the O.J. trial -- or in the wake of tragedy, as we did in the aftermath of Katrina -- or as fodder for the nightly news.

We can play Rev. Wright's sermons on every channel, every day and talk about them from now until the election, and make the only question in this campaign whether or not the American people think that I somehow believe or sympathize with his most offensive words.

We can pounce on some gaffe by a Hillary supporter as evidence that she's playing the race card, or we can speculate on whether white men will all flock to John McCain in the general election regardless of his policies.

We can do that.

But if we do, I can tell you that in the next election, we'll be talking about some other distraction. And then another one. And then another one. And nothing will change.

That is one option. Or, at this moment, in this election, we can come together and say, "Not this time." [...]

And today, whenever I find myself feeling doubtful or cynical about this possibility, what gives me the most hope is the next generation -- the young people whose attitudes and beliefs and openness to change have already made history in this election."
