QUOTATIONS OF THE DAY

"The health care bill, ObamaCare, is dead with not the slightest prospect of resurrection."
-- Fred Barnes in "The Weekly Standard," January 22, 2010.

"Health Care Is Dead--Just Don't Tell the Left"
-- "Reason" magazine, January 22, 2010.

"You know, I've been telling my staff nine months, 'They can't pass this bill.' And finally my staff wrestled me to the ground last fall and said, 'Mr. Boehner, we have to quit saying this because they're gonna pass this bill.' And I looked at my staff and I said, 'Alright, I'll try to throttle it back a little bit. But it'll be over my dead body.'"
-- Representative John Boehner (R-Ohio), March 17, 2010.

UPDATE -- At last report, Representative Boehner was still alive.
