QUOTABLES FROM CNBC'S 'DENNIS MILLER'
"On Monday, President Bush said he will form a bi-partisan committee to
fully
investigate possible intelligence failures in Iraq. In order for the panel
to
have credibility with the American people, it will be chaired by American
Idol's Ruben Studdard."

a
televised interview this week. Adding to the fallout, CBS fired three
executives for letting another network beat them to an obscene event."
"John Edwards, who was born in South Carolina, won the primary in South
Carolina. ... Edwards' next move will be to try to convince Democrats that
he
was born in California."
"After losses in all seven primaries, Senator Joe Lieberman formally
announced
that he is quitting the race. ... The Senator called his decision
difficult,
but realistic. Raising the age-old question, if a candidate falls in the
campaign and no one is there to hear it, does he make a sound?"
"Filmmaker Spike Lee described [Janet] Jackson's breast-baring stunt as a
"new
low" in celebrities' search for fame and money. Lee then announced he was
going
to sue the spike through Janet's nipple for infringing on his brand name."

ruling
was applauded by gay rights groups, civil liberties groups, and the

bad
publicity from the Super Bowl incident behind them and go back to simply
indicting nine-year-old girls for file sharing."
"In light of the recent ricin scare, both the House and the Senate are
considering banning all unsolicited mail from constituents. So if you want
to
contact your elected representatives, just wire money directly into their
accounts."
"CIA Director George Tenet conceded on Thursday that there were gaps in
his
agency's intelligence on Iraq. Tenet would not admit exactly how big the
gaps
were, but did say they were enough for him to bow to political pressure
and say
there were gaps."
