Sloths ... they just hang around ....
I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
LOVE!
Interviewer: You’ve long argued for the decriminalization of marijuana. Do you smoke weed?
Barney Frank: No.
Interviewer: Why not?
Barney Frank: Why do you ask a question, then act surprised when I give an answer? Do you think I lie to people?
Interviewer: I thought you might explain why you support decriminalizing it but don’t smoke it.
Barney Frank: Do you think I’ve ever had an abortion?

In the NYT link, another good one:
You’ve developed a reputation as being tough with journalists and even made some cry. Do you relish the sparring?
No. And in my defense, who knew that these tough crusading reporters were so tender and sensitive? Does the First Amendment say something about how you can never say anything nasty to a reporter? Growing up, I remember seeing “The Front Page.” Do you think Hildy Johnson ever cried?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
He said he has patients who eat right, exercise every day and still have gained 100 lbs or more taking Serqouel.
Tim didn't gain anything after almost 5 years on Seroquel (and he knows he's damn lucky in that regard). In the past year he went off Seroquel and has gained about 5 pounds. He asked me if I thought it was due to stopping Seroquel, and I told him it was probably due to eating 3 cartons (NOT pints) of ice cream a week as well as turning 45, and that most people's metabolisms slow down when they hit 30, not 45, so he'd better just appreciate the extra 15 years he got.
He responded by offering to get me ice cream since he was going to get his. The man is not self-conscious about his body at all. I admire that.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Do you think Hildy Johnson ever cried?
There is absolutely no end to the awesomeness of this.

Barney Frank: Do you think I’ve ever had an abortion?
Awesome answer.
