Quotes of the Day: 'I have never used Twitter. My thumbs are too clumsy...'
November 16, 2009 10:36 AM
"I have never used Twitter. My thumbs are too clumsy to type in things on the phone. But I am a big believer in technology and I'm a big believer in openness when it comes to the flow of information. I think that the more freely information flows, the stronger the society becomes, because then citizens of countries around the world can hold their own governments accountable.” -- President Obama, to a town-hall gathering in Shanghai
“I can't wait to see you! God bless the fight for freedom! Keep up the great work, Patriots who love this country.” -- Sarah Palin on Facebook, as she sets out on her book tour
“She’s a joke.” -- David Brooks, on Palin
“There won’t be a lot of guilt-innocence maneuverability there.” -- Thomas H. Dunn, former defense lawyer for the Army in death penalty cases, on the prospects for defending Major Nidal Hassan
