Photo: Abode of ChaosI’m starting to think about my annual list, run by the Associated Press, of the top 10 most notable quotations of the year. By “notable” I mean “important” or “famous” or “particularly revealing of the spirit of our times” rather than necessarily being eloquent or admirable. Last year’s winners were a tie between Tony Hayward‘s “I’d like my life back” and Christine O’Donnell‘s “I’m not a witch.”
I would welcome suggestions of notable quotations from 2011, particularly ones from politics or popular culture or entertainment or sports or business or technology.

It’s got to be Charlie Sheen’s babbling about ‘winning’ and having tiger’s blood.

What about Seth McFarlane’s reply to Charlie at his Comedy Central Roast? “You say you’ve got Tiger Blood but with all the hookers you’ve been with its probably Tiger Woods’ blood”
I am a fan of Mitt Romney’s recent gaffe, as a reason why he fired the company who hired illegal immigrants – “I’m running for office, for Pete’s sake!”
Hot debate. What do you think?
