Quotes for the week.

This is a special week for the "quotes for the week". This week is the week after the elections that Republicans want to forget and Democrats brag about. As such, I shall have three quotes for this week to reflect the elections and one for this week's events. Here we go:

1) "If the president had replaced Rumsfeld two weeks ago, the Republicans would still control the Senate and they would probably have 10 more House members. ”
— Newt Gingrich, the former Republican speaker of the House, angered over the GOP loss of a Congressional majority.

2) “All Republicans need to look in the mirror and figure out how we can do better.” — Ken Mehlman, outgoing chairman of the Republican National Committee, at a lunch with reporters.

3) Jon Stewart: "What was the plan? What did it for the Democrats?"
Howard Dean: "Well, we were helped, of course, by the President."
— Howard Dean, the Democratic National Committee chairman, in a post-midterm election interview with Jon Stewart.

4) "The sooner we can move it forward the sooner we can get rid of Rumsfeld.”
— Sen. Harry Reid, the Senate Democratic leader, on confirming former CIA Director Robert Gates as Secretary of Defense.

This week Intel Corp. announced it had released the Double Core Duo2 computer chips and Sun Microsystems, Inc., a computer programming company, announced that it was making available to the public its source codes for its Java programming so that outsiders can fix bugs and improve on it. Considering what computers have done, and continue to do, for us, it is only fitting that I pick this quote as the quote for the week. This IS serious, folks:

5) "The wife loves it. I wouldn't love it. What do you punch — little buttons and things?”
— Larry King, on the Internet.
And that's all, folks!
