Apologia


Up to now I have restrained myself from discussing politics but I find we are being inundated with the subject. Why is it we remember the "quotes" long after forgetting the slogans? Here are a few that have lived on:
"I am not a crook!" (Richard Milhous Nixon)

"I did not have sex with that woman!" (William Jefferson Clinton)

"It depends on what the meaning of "IS" is." (Also WJC)

"I am not a bully!" (Chris Christie)

"Mistakes were clearly made!" (Also CC)

And here is one I resurrected from the dustbin:

"I shouldn't have said what I am reported to have said. And if I did I apologized!" (Jon S. Corzine, Senate candidate in New Jersey)
