185 Stupid Things Democrats Have Said

Open Mouth: Insert Foot

With 72 million registered voters, the Democratic Party hails as the largest and oldest political party in the United States. That's a long history of a lot of people saying a lot of stuff. Ted Rueter has compiled a collection of the dumbest quotes on record from Democrats in his pocket-sized book 185 Stupid Things Democrats Have Said (Andrews McMeel Publishing, $5.99).

• As the 2008 presidential candidates race each other for the finish line, Americans can take a look back at the presidents of the past and remember fondly the man who defined the word "is":

"I tried to walk a fine line between acting lawfully and testifying falsely, but now I recognize that I did not fully accomplish that goal." Former President Bill Clinton

• The first lady holds a position so close to the President, that it's often easy to forget who is in charge:

"I'm not going to have some reporters pawing through our papers. We are the President." Former First Lady Hillary Clinton

• Ah, Congress: full of Senators, full of Representatives, full of quotable quotes:

"I want to apologize to all the hookers in New York and Los Angeles for associating them with members of Congress." Representative James Traficant

Perfect for a laugh during what is sure to be a politically charged year, and alphabetized by category for easy perusal,185 Stupid Things Democrats Have Said is the perfect gift for your favorite light-hearted Democrat or Republican seeking revenge. (And Rueter is an equal-opportunity "collector." Democrats will surely appreciate 185 Stupid Things Republicans Have Said, also hot off the press from Andrews McMeel Publishing!)
