On McCain/Palin

Suspending the debate? David Blaine said, "I thought hanging upside down was a lame stunt, but, wow!" No one was buying his excuse not to debate. But it was better than the first one he had, which was, "None of my 13 cars would start."  Bill Maher

On Obama's Chances of Being Elected

They'll change the whole rules of everything. You know, sometimes I think Obama actually thinks that having the most votes is going to mean something. You know, they'll change it all. They'll look him dead in the face and go, "Hey, man, you got the most votes. Too bad you lost."  Chris Rock

On the Debate

Bloated military budget won. Corporate crime won. Bailing out Wall Street crooks won. Peace advocates lost. Huh? Georgia and USA lost, right? So, he wants to rebuild Georgia over there. What about Georgia here?  Ralph Nader

On the Financial Crisis

I thought that this was grandstanding. And then it actually sank in just how serious a crisis this is. It seems to me that one of these men will be our next president, and they should want to be involved in crafting a response to this crisis, and in understanding this crisis, in a way that almost nobody in Congress or the White House or the other party or whatever party does. This is well beyond the abilities of most of our elected leaders.  Lisa Schiffren

On McCain

We were just talking about the "warm and fuzzy" part of the Republican Party. Well, the fuzzy part is John McCain's brain.
 Tim Daly

On Wall Street

It was supposed to be a source of capital for factories that produce real things. Now, it's a gambling casino. And, "Socialist Superman" is swooping down on New York City from Washington, D.C., to bail out the casino capitalists on Wall Street, which is spewing forth more and more chunks of kryptonite. How much can the taxpayer take? That's why there's going to be a taxpayer revolt. Call a demonstration. There's an uproar!
