Monday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Anthony Hopkins, Jerry Nadler, Elizabeth Warren, and more.

Insight: “There is no limit to what a man can do or where he can go if he doesn’t mind who gets the credit.” —Ronald Reagan

Upright: “People ask me questions about present situations in life, and I say, ‘I don’t know, I’m just an actor.’ I don’t have any opinions. Actors are pretty stupid. My opinion is not worth anything. There’s no controversy for me, so don’t engage me in it, because I’m not going to participate.” —actor Anthony Hopkins

Braying jackass: “The president doesn’t give a s—t about what’s good for our country, what’s good for Ukraine. It’s all about what’s in it for him personally and for his reelection campaign.” —Rep. Adam Schiff

Grand delusions: “I think the case we have, if presented to a jury, would be a guilty verdict in about three minutes flat.” —Rep. Jerry Nadler

Non sequitur: “There’s always money. It’s there. Are we going to spend the money on defense or are we going to spend the money on our children?” —Sen. Elizabeth Warren

Mind-numbingly dumb: “Pearl Harbor. Pensacola. Not even our military bases are safe from gun violence. I’m heartsick for the victims and their families. We must end this epidemic and protect the lives of our service members.” —Elizabeth Warren

Non compos mentis: “I shouldn’t [have claimed to be Native American]. I am not a person of color. I am not a citizen of a tribe. And I have apologized for confusion I have caused on tribal citizenship, on tribal sovereignty, and for any harm that I’ve caused.” —Elizabeth Warren, who advanced her academic career with that claim

Let’s hope Biden suffers the same fate: “16 years ago this month, pundits and the polls had written me off.” —2004 Democrat nominee John Kerry stumping for Joe Biden in Iowa

Hardly impartial: “They get a paycheck, but with your paycheck comes some restrictions.” —billionaire Mike Bloomberg on restricting his reporters from digging up dirt on Democrat candidates

Friendly fire I: “He hurt me, there’s no doubt about it, and I hope he doesn’t do it again to whoever gets the nomination. Once is enough.” —Hillary Clinton blaming Bernie Sanders for her 2016 loss

Friendly fire II: “I’m sorry that Hillary Clinton is rerunning 2016.” —Sen. Bernie Sanders

And last… “This is your daily reminder that Obama weaponized the IRS against conservative groups who disagreed with his radical agenda. The woman who led the effort, Lois Lerner, was never held accountable for her crimes and received pension and benefits on the taxpayer dollar.” —Charlie Kirk
