Friday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Dan Crenshaw, James Comey, Kim Campbell, Sean Davis, and more.

Insight: “Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it.” —George Orwell

Upright: “When WWII ended, debt to GDP ratio was 114%. Why is it approaching that number today, when we aren’t fighting a global war? Because we refuse to address runaway spending on entitlement programs.” —Rep. Dan Crenshaw

For the record: “So James Comey was — it’s official now — a sanctimonious, self-righteous bureaucrat who believed in holding other people to standards that he himself was free to break when he saw fit. This should surprise no one.” —Buck Sexton

Observations: “We have a small group of unelected conspirators who feel that it’s their moral prerogative to destroy an elected president because they are just morally superior and they have insight that the rest of us don’t have.” —Victor Davis Hanson

Unrepentant: “I don’t need a public apology from those who defamed me, but a quick message with a ‘sorry we lied about you’ would be nice.” —James Comey

Alpha Jackass: “I’m rooting for a direct hit on Mar a Lago!” —former Canadian Prime Minister Kim Campbell on Hurricane Dorian

Non compos mentis: “Coastal cities will be underwater due to climate change, and we face many deaths if we don’t spend trillions of dollars to address it.” —Ben Rhodes (“Speaking of these coastal cities which will all be underwater soon, didn’t your former boss just spend $15 million on a waterfront mansion on Martha’s Vineyard? He must use a different apocalyptic doomsday weather app.” —Sean Davis)

The BIG Lie: “[Racism is] a white man’s problem. White men are responsible for it — not black men.” —Joe Biden

And last… “Biden has spent almost 50 years as a politician, most of them on Capitol Hill surrounded by armed bodyguards, and yet somehow whenever he talks he makes his life sound like a cross between ‘Saving Private Ryan’ and a Mount Everest expedition.” —Tucker Carlson
