What is WIC? Women and children who need nutrition is a program that is being cut by sequester.” VARNEY: “Well, 63 percent is fair? Is it?” ELLISON: “I think asking Phil Mickelson for a little bit more money so that women and children can have a meal is fair. Yes, I do.

I think you have Phil Mickelson, who has benefited from living in the richest country in the history of the world, I think it’s fair to ask Phil Mickelson to help with that. Yes, I do.

But they’re the party that is basically a bigoted party and they have now officially declared themselves against a whole segment of the American population, because if we said we were going to put a plank opposing Jewish law, or Catholic canon, it would be an outrage. This is also an outrage. But you know, it’ll pass.'” (Tim Murphy, “Rep. Keith Ellison: GOP Is ‘Basically A Bigoted Party,” Mother Jones, 9/6/12)

Does anybody know what I’m talking about? UNKNOWN MAN IN AUDIENCE: “Yes I do, but I wouldn’t compare that to 9/11.” REP.
