14. Last year in a politics Class
When the Dems were filibustering judicial nominees, I got into it in Discussion with a College Repub.

It was the discussion section, so there were about 20 of us. It was right after lecture, and our TA was pretty cool. As long as we didn't interrupt, we could say pretty much what we wanted when we wanted.

Our TA asked us, "So, why might this fillibuster be taking place now. What reasons would there be."

Some College Rethug stooge quickly answered, "Because the Democrats don't want Bush appointing minorities and women."

I saw my friend Adam, who was sitting next to me, looking at me for a reaction out of the corner of my eye, and the next thing I knew I had blurted out, "Where the hell did you hear that load of bullshit? Did Rush tell you that? Maybe Hannity?"

whoops.
