Top Ten Funniest Quotes By The Media In 2007

These are actually “inadvertantly funny” quotes, and I didn’t find all of them all that funny, so I narrowed the list down to those I did find most humorous.  Feel free to read the rest of them yourselves.

1. David Gregory:

“Now switching gears to a lighter note, it’s a murder, rather, actually, not quite a lighter note, still a difficult topic.”

2. New York Times Book Review:

“Michael Kinsley, who reviews Alan Greenspan’s ‘’Age of Turbulence’’ this week, has a résumé that seems to have been assembled with the express purpose of inspiring awe.”  (Isn’t that kinda sorta the purpose of all résumés? – Ed.)

3. Brian Lamb:

“Our coverage of funerals is popular.”

4. Helen Thomas:

“Why did we send a B-52 carrying nuclear weapons from South Dakota to Louisiana, jeopardizing America?”

5. Talking snowman in CNN’s Democratic YouTube debate:

“What will you do to ensure that my son will live a full and happy life?”

…
8.  A question from a member of the White House press corps, after the Virginia Tech shootings:

“Columbine, Amish school shooting, now this, and a whole host of other gun issues brought into schools — that’s not including guns on the streets and in many urban areas and rural areas. Does there need to be some more restrictions? Does there need to be gun control in this country?”

9.  Washington Post correction:

“A Reliable Source item in the April 17 Style section incorrectly said that actor Nicolas Cage’s son Kal-El was named for Superman’s father. Kal-El is an alternate name for the comic-book superhero himself; Superman’s father was Jor-El.”

10.  And the rest all belong to Larry King…
…
Larry King to celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay:

“One of my favorite foods is bagels and lox and cream cheese. They put out a whole assortment. I have no idea what this is.  Peas?”
Ramsay: “They’re called capers.”

I placed this under the “media bias” category, because I didn’t feel like creating a “media idiocy” category.  Lazy, I know.  So sue me.
