Best quotes of '08?

The Yale Book of Quotations has announced its top ten most notable quotes from this past year, and while I think they actually did a decent job, there were some glaring omissions. So I’ve taken it upon myself to come up with my own top ten list, without repeating any of their choices. This is all pretty arbitrary, and will probably be skewed fairly heavily towards things that were said after August, considering this is all coming from memory. Also, I stopped thinking after I came up with ten. Anyway:


10. “You’re likable enough, Hillary.” – Barack Obama

9. “Eat, sleep, and swim. That’s all that I can do.” – Michael Phelps

8. “God damn America!” – Jeremiah Wright

7. “I’m gonna make this pencil disappear.” – Heath Ledger, as the Joker

6. “Wall Street got drunk, and now it’s got a hangover.” – George W. Bush

5. “If the Human race is going to continue for another million years, we will have to boldly go where no one has gone before.” – Stephen Hawking

4. “If some people don’t have a sense of humor, then it’s their problem.” – Silvio Berlusconi

3. “If Jesus came back today, I think he’d throw up.” – Jesse Ventura

2. "We believe that the best of America is in these small towns that we get to visit, and in these wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America, being here with all of you hard working very patriotic, um, very, um, pro-America areas of this great nation." – Sarah Palin

1. “World champions… world fucking champions!” – Chase Utley
