The dude is not quoted about "cornerstone of democracy," or "keystone of our over-arching place in history," or. "our nation's exceptionalism rests on the bedrock of the Republicans in this room from the great state of Alabama and you in turn are the bedrock of our flag and nation." In Alabama, being careful about that flag part probably was sensible.
But wait.
There will be more opportunity. Cliches never sleep.
The "dawn of a new American Dream" is just a step or two away from the FOX studio cameras.
UPDATE: Another quote by the great man, about another great one:
“John Kennedy would be a conservative Republican today,” he continued. “The left has gone so far left, it’s unrecognizable. What you’re doing right now is incredibly important, in this state and across the country.”
That's about as bright and a legitimate a statement as, "If Karl Marx were alive today and saw the anarchy that socialist Nancy Pelosi stands for, he'd quit taking on airs and writing long books nobody's read through, and instead would do a terse manifesto of talking point sound bites for why he'd be taking a commentator job at FOX. Beard and all. It's not what he'd say, but how he'd say it."
