George Carlin
“I was watching Ashlee Simpson on Jay's show last night... She was really singing, and I was saying, 'Bring back the lip synch.' ...And it struck me that Ashlee Simpson is a lot like George Bush-because she wouldn't even really be in the big leagues if it wasn't for family connections, and she's in way over her head. And she doesn't know what to do. And she blamed her band.”
Bill Maher
““This morning, shortly after 11 o’clock, comedy struck this little house in Dibbley road. Sudden, violent comedy.””

Abraham Lincoln
