"there's something horrible and undefeatable about people who have no life except the worship of power . . . people who don't want the meeting to end, the people who just are unstoppable, who only have one focus, no humanity, no character, nothing but the worship of money and power. They win in the end."
Christopher Hitchens on Hillary Clinton

"A few weeks ago, I started to feel sorry for her. Oh Christ, let her win already...Who cares...It's not worth it. There's not that much difference between them. She can have it. Anything to avoid watching her descend into madness. So I switched. I started rooting for her. It wasn't that hard. Compromise comes easy to me. I was on board."
Larry David on Hillary Clinton (don't mean to rag on Clinton will find some anti Obama quotes for a bit of balance!)
American rapper DMX clearly hasn't been following the Democratic elections; This is a mind-blowing interview he did a couple of weeks ago:
Interviewer: Are you following the presidential race?
DMX: Not at all.
Interviewer: You’re not? You know there’s a Black guy running, Barack Obama and then there’s Hillary Clinton.
DMX: His name is Barack?!
Interviewer: Barack Obama, yeah.
DMX: Barack?!
Interview: Barack.
DMX: What the f*ck is a Barack?! Barack Obama. Where he from, Africa?
Interviewer: Yeah, his dad is from Kenya.
DMX: Barack Obama?
Interviewer: Yeah.
DMX: What the f*ck?! That ain’t no f*ckin’ name, yo. That ain’t that nigga’s name. You can’t be serious. Barack Obama. Get the f*ck outta here.
Interviewer:You’re telling me you haven’t heard about him before.
DMX: I ain’t really paying much attention. (no shit)
"Once it has begun its sessions, we will be able to compare this 'Senate' with the pre-1997 House of Lords. And it will be obvious even to the dimmest that it is less free, less independent, less unpredictable, more controlled, more subservient."
Peter Hitchens on the Governments proposal for a fully elected House of Lords.
This guy's political opinions on liberalism are at least clear.
"Until that time, I imagine there are shredding machines quietly pufing and panting away in various parts of the building, and quite right too. Heaven knows what we shall uncover in the course of the next few days"
Newly elected Mayor of London, Boris, on the Livingstone administration's departure.
"I have a really interesting political point of view, and it's not always something I say too loud at dinner tables here, but you can't go from a $2,000-a-night suite at La Mirage to a penitentiary and really understand it and come out a liberal. You can't. I wouldn't wish that experience on anyone else, but it was very, very, very educational for me and has informed my proclivities and politics ever since."
