Cynthia McFadden: “There’s the last image of the video where President Bush, or a President Bush
look-alike, kisses Saddam Hussein-”
Madonna: “On the cheek.”
McFadden: “On the cheek. What are we supposed to think about that?”
Madonna: “Although, you know, they [President Bush and Saddam Hussein] are very different people
serving very different purposes. I think they both have very equally narrow views about how to solve
problems and it is all about power, the struggle for oil and the struggle for world domination, and at the
end of the day, are they that different? You know what I mean? I don’t want to equate George Bush with
Saddam Hussein. But I believe that George Bush and Saddam Hussein are both behaving in an irresponsible
manner, so in that respect, they’re alike.”
— Pop singer Madonna in an interview shown on ABC’s 20/20, June 18.

“We must make it clear that a hundred million women in this country will not have their rights rolled back
by political extremists! The far right have already squandered your Social Security! They better put our
uteruses in a lockbox and keep their hands off them!”
— Actress Camryn Manheim, who played “Ellenor Frutt” on ABC’s
The Practice, screaming at the April 25 pro-abortion “March for Women’s Lives” rally on the Mall in Washington, D.C. and shown live on C-SPAN. |

the winner is:

Joe Scarborough: “Since George Bush got into public life, he’s been underestimated by his
opponents....
Is that a part of an act that this guy does to lull Democrats into underestimating him, or do Democrats just put up really, really bad candidates against this guy every four
years?”
Comic/liberal radio host Janeane Garofalo: “Well, I don’t recognize that as a valid question. First of
all, George W. Bush is a bad candidate. George W. Bush is unelectable, in my opinion. And secondly-“
Scarborough: “Well, why does he keep winning?”
Garofalo: “I don’t know, voter fraud? A failed mainstream media that fails to inform the electorate
about what their government is doing? Ignorance? Apathy? I don’t know.”
— MSNBC’s Scarborough Country, January 20, 2005, the night of Bush’s second inauguration. |
