Mortimer Zuckerman, Editor-In-Chief of U.S. News and World Report has a list of some funny or interesting quotes from the year. Here are some of my favorites:

Republican Dennis Hastert on Democratic Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi:
"She has all the qualities of leadership, except followers."

Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon on the death of Yasser Arafat:
"I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying that I approved of it."

A French book reviewer on Bill Clinton's autobiography, MY LIFE:
"In France, the public life of a president starts from the waist up."

My Personal Favorite-

Donald Rumsfeld on the valor of American Forces in Iraq:
"For those who have fought for it, freedom has a taste that the protected will never know."
