The May 6, 2002, edition of The Washington Times included a collection of "the most memorable political quotes of all time, selected from among the hundreds of favorite political one-liners submitted by Inside the Beltway readers from over 30 states."

Several of the favorites were Bill Clinton quotes:

"The road to tyranny, we must never forget, begins with the destruction of the truth."

"That depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is."

"I didn't inhale."

"In just eight years I've given you enough material for 20 years." — Bill Clinton's farewell address to the White House Correspondents' Association

Then there were some other favorites:

"Power does not corrupt men; fools, however, if they get into a position of power, corrupt power." — George Bernard Shaw

"If I were in the president's place, I would not have gotten a chance to resign. I would be laying in a pool of my own blood, listening to Mrs. Armey standing over me saying, 'How do I reload this thing?'" — House Majority Leader Dick Armey of Texas

Scary part is many of these people will only be remembered for these quotes!
