MEMORABLE THINGS THEY SAID

"The powers that be decided against it."

U.S. Rep. John Conyers Jr., chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, on why he's abandoning his plans for hearings on alleged voter fraud by the left-wing group ACORN. In an interview with The Washington Times, the Michigan Democrat declined to identify "the powers that be."

"Apparently, but there's no evidence in my bank account to substantiate that."

Apollo astronaut Buzz Aldrin in response to a New York Times question, "Is it true that Buzz Lightyear, the cartoon astronaut, was named after you?"

"We really do need to cut loose this stinkpot of self-righteousness."

U.S. Rep. Bob Inglis, R-S.C., on the need for humility among Republicans in discussing morality and personal responsibility in the wake of the sex scandal involving South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford. "I see a real opportunity for a more accurate presentation of the gospel in presenting fact rather than the fiction . . . that we're paragons of virtue," he told The Los Angeles Times.
