"If you want to empower women in America, give 'em a gun."

- Tom DeLay, addressing the NRA, as quoted on Blog to Eleven

"I, 15 years ago, had a problem because I behaved inappropriately. The ethics committee stepped in. Newt Gingrich had a problem. He was reprimanded; the ethics committee stepped in. The difference between us and Mr. DeLay is, I think, we changed our behavior. Mr. DeLay changed the ethics committee."

-- Barney Frank, as quoted on Boozhy Blog.
