"The only time France wants us to go to war is when the German Army is sitting in Paris sipping coffee." - Regis Philbin

"The French are a smallish, monkey-looking bunch and not dressed any better, on average, than the citizens of Baltimore.

1940s who was still trying to dine out on her looks but doesn't have the face for it." - John McCain, U.S. Senator from Arizona

I saw something else on that site that echoes what I have been seeing for years. A lot of old recycled political quotes over the years are being deliberately credited to different incorrect sources as lame attempts by Republicans and Democrats to make the other side look stupid and unfit for running the country.
