On New Orleans Slow Recovery

You look at Lakeview and the Ninth Ward, and there's all that devastation which hasn't been touched. And you see a picture of bomb-out Baghdad, at least you know our tax money is at work. – Harry Anderson

On President Bush's Reading List

President Bush says he read 60 books. We did a little math here. Sixty books in eight months. That is a lot of reading. That's a lot of "free time reading." In which, if you're an average reader, which I will generously give President Bush – an average reader – it would take you at least two-and-a-half hours a day. Now, there are jobs in the world, and then there are big jobs. When you have a big job, you don't have time to read for two-and-a-half hours a day. I don't have time. – Bill Maher

On Evolution

You don't have to push evolution because it's the truth. – Penn Jillette

On Iraq

I don't know if they want us there. I think they would dread the consequences of our withdrawal. Behind closed doors, even the Sunni Arabs who have resisted this war and who have rejected this gift, if you will, they don't want us gone. There was one Iraqi woman who said it very well. She said, "Under Saddam, we lived in a prison. Now we live in a wilderness, and I prefer the wilderness." I think Iraqis are still willing to take a chance on this new order. – Fouad Ajami

The fact is, what Israel did in this last war, and what we did wrong in Iraq are the same thing. When you're going after a specific entity – Saddam or Hezbollah &$150; the important thing is to make sure that everybody understands that you're only going after Saddam or you're only going after Hezbollah. – Rep. Darrell Issa
