In their own words

Mike Huckabee campaigning in South Carolina...

"You don't like people from outside the state telling you what to do with the [Confederate] flag. In fact, if somebody came down to Arkansas and told us what to do with our flag, we'd tell 'em where to put the pole."
 
As China's economy expanded more than 11 percent for the fourth straight quarter, noted trader of over 50 years Jim Sinclair had this to say:

"China bashing never stops on financial TV amongst the experts of questionable cranial capacity. Simply put, if your children do not speak Mandarin they will not be able to communicate with their bosses as the West sells their Assets to the East."

That is way out of context. The quote IN context:

When McCain's 95 year old mother, Roberta McCain, was asked how much support she thought her son had among the base of the Republican Party, she instantly replied, "I don't think he has any. ... Maybe I don't know enough about it, but I've not seen any help whatsoever."

She went on to say that if McCain wins the nomination, "holding their nose they're going to have to take him," but that didn't exhaust what she had to say about the GOP base.

"I'm really popping off," the elder McCain continued, "but he worked like a dog to get Bush reelected. He's backed Bush in everything except Rumsfeld. ... And I've never seen any public recognition of the work that he's done for the Republican Party."
 
"The Reverend Jesse Jackson told CNN that he's planning to endorse Barack Obama for president. Experts say this is a risky move for Jackson, because hardly anything rhymes with 'Barack Obama.'" --Conan O'Brien
