April 8, 2010

CAROL: I just want to apologize for calling you an atheist last week, dear.
DEB: Oh, I understand. All's fair, I suppose.

CAROL: You know this next week we're painting you as "hobnobbing with lobbyists".
DEB: CAROL! What lobbyists do I "hobnob" with?

CAROL: Well... ME, Deb. We're hobnobbing right now.
DEB: Oh my, that IS true, isn't it?

CAROL: Yes, Tommy's in the bushes there snapping photos.
DEB: Hi Tommy! ... He's not waving back...

Popularity rank 7 #5. Great faith

January 10, 2010

GRIMM: Ma'am, your opponents will turn this pledge of allegiance slip into a political STAKE through your heart.
DEB: They'll try...

DEB: But people will see THROUGH it. I have a GREAT faith in my constituents' judgement.
GRIMM: You do. Which is a catastrophic liability.

DEB: As well as a strong belief that VOTERS LOVE FACTS!
GRIMM: Despite decades of hard evidence to the contrary.

DEB: The TRUTH will set me free!
GRIMM: Yes... you'll soon be free you from the burden of elected office.

Popularity rank 8 #6. Out in front

January 11, 2010

GRIMM: Congresswoman, we need to get out in FRONT of this!
DEB: I dunno, I think overall things went WELL.

GRIMM: "Well"? You BUTCHERED the pledge of allegiance!
DEB: Well, YES, but APART from that.

GRIMM: Oh, yes, WELL, apart from GENOCIDE, the Jangaweed are a DELIGHT!

DEB: JANGAWEED… should I know what that is? Is it a... WILDFLOWER?
LINDA: Yes. A genocidal wildflower.

Popularity rank 9 #16. No drama

February 8, 2010

GRIMM: Ma'am, our polling is-
DEB: Let's... be BOLD here. Let's take the "NO DRAMA" approach. Let's not let them POLITICIZE this.

GRIMM: But at the very least we-
DEB: NO DRAMA!

LINDA: What's the "no drama" approach?
GRIMM: "No DRAMA"? "No DRAMA" means "IGNORE IT and hope it just GOES AWAY".

GRIMM: "No DRAMA" means "sit idly BY while decades of PROGRESS are HIJACKED by bitter right-wing IDEOLOGUES"!
LINDA: That's... pretty dramatic.

Popularity rank 10 #29. A tough Democrat

March 16, 2010

GRIMM: Rep. Geminari, you cannot talk to the Tea Partiers. You'd be ripped to shreds.
DEB: I think you underestimate me.

DEB: I'm a tough cookie. I can handle myself at a protest. What if I just go out there, look them in the eyes...

DEB: And explain to them that the Stimulus Package is not an enormous expansion of government largesse, but an aggregation of temporary projects designed to triage an ailing economy.

GRIMM: They would disembowel you and sell your bloodied pantsuit on eBay.
DEB: But I'd be SHOUTING it... Or at least raising my voice.
