QUOTABLES FROM CNBC'S "DENNIS MILLER"
Week of February 9-13, 2004:
"A letter seized in Iraq shows that Osama Bin Laden needs to do more
recruiting. It says the problem is that many first-time Al Qaeda recruits
do
not return to the group after their first suicide bombing."
"Singer Diana Ross was convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol
on
Monday, and was sentenced to two days in jail. ...Two days in jail? Hmm,
by my
calculations, that's about 56 costume changes."
"Hoping to put to rest speculation about President Bush's National Guard
service during the Vietnam War, the White House on Tuesday released
positive
proof of his military service: a Polaroid photograph from 1972 of George
with a
short, crew-cut. No guy, who didn't absolutely have to, had a crew cut in
1972."
"FCC Chairman Michael Powell told a Congressional committee today that the
Super Bowl halftime show was a 'new low' for prime time television. The
old
low, of course, was an episode of "Murder She Wrote" where Angela Lansbury
made
out with Tom Bosley."
"[John] Kerry is now scrambling to clear up his position on gay marriage.
Apparently, he supports it, but not between the lead and the understudy of
a
Broadway musical."
"Vermont Senator Jim Jeffords came out in favor of the highway spending
bill,
saying, 'It's about jobs. Jobs, jobs, jobs.' Upon hearing Jeffords, the
entire
country of Mexico broke out in cheers."
"United Nations inspectors have found evidence that Iran had a secret
nuclear
weapons program. The proof was discovered during Iran's top-rated game
show,
'Camel, Not a Camel."
"Barbie and Ken are breaking up, ending their 43-year relationship. Court
records show the two are citing irreconcilable pelvic similarities."
