"Bob Smith has simply proved my point. I was waiting Somebody is going to prove my point. Now Senator Bob Smith is the first of that special class of idiots in Oregon. He should be happy that he tops them all. Now anybody else doing anything will be second. Bob Smith has won the Nobel Prize.

He may not be thankful to us, but we don't wait for anybody's thankfulness, we simply do anything that seems to be humanitarian."
