Stolen from Eric Zorn, Chicago Tribune:

"Republicans sold us out with a generation of trickle-down economics that blew the deficit sky-high, drove poverty through the roof, and squeezed the middle class like a lemon at a county fair. They gave themselves the goldmine, and they gave the rest of us the shaft."

Democratic Sen. Zell Miller, tonight's Republican Convention keynote speaker, in 1996.

"The Republicans are in town this week. Don't worry, they'll only be here until we're capable of self rule."

David Letterman.
