2001 G.W. BUSH 20 Jan. "We must live up to the calling we share. Civility is not a tactic or a sentiment. It is the determined choice of trust over cynicism, of community over chaos. And this commitment, if we keep it, is a way to shared accomplishment."

2002 G. NORQUIST via Denver Post "We are trying to change the tones in the state capitals - and turn them toward bitter nastiness and partisanship."

2003 G.W. BUSH "Do you want to know what the foreign policy of Iraq is to the United States is? 'Fuck the United States!' That’s what it is -- and that’s why we’re going to get him!"

2004 R. CHENEY 22 Jun. "Fuck yourself."

2005 T. DELAY 14 Apr. "The reason the judiciary has been able to impose a separation of church and state that's nowhere in the Constitution is that Congress didn't stop them. The reason we had judicial review is because Congress didn't stop them. The reason we had a right to privacy is because Congress didn't stop them."
