Another similar "book insult," although I have forgotten its creator's name, was: "The only trouble with this book is that the covers are too far apart." Some other favorites of mine: "I never thought much of Pat Buchanan until I heard one of his speeches in the original German." - Molly Ivins "Men always fall for frigid women because they put on the best show." - Fanny Brice "The trouble with born-again Christians is that they are an even bigger pain the second time around." - Herb Caen "When a man opens the car door for his wife, it's either a new car or a new wife." - Prince Philip, Duke Of Edinburgh "A lady came up to me on the street and pointed at my suede jacket. 'You know a cow was murdered for that jacket?' she sneered. I replied in a psychotic tone, 'I didn't know there were any witnesses. Now I'll have to kill you too.'" - Jake Johansen "A disciple is an asshole, looking for a human being to attach itself to." - Robert Anton Wilson "His mere presence here is depriving some village of its idiot." - John Cleese "Suppose you were an idiot . . . And suppose you were a member of Congress . . . But I repeat myself." - Mark Twain "Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys." - P. J. O'Rourke "Every editor should have a pimp for a brother, so he will have somebody to look up to." - H.L. Mencken
