If you're ever stuck for a soundbite, have a few quotes in your back pocket to reel off to reporters. Some of these may make reporters laugh and buy you some time to think of a more appropriate response.
"Frank and explicit - that is the right line to take when you wish to conceal your own mind and confuse the minds of others."
-Benjamin Disraeli
"If you can't convince them, confuse them."
-Harry S. Truman
"Rest assured, there'll never be a shortage of Bozos on television."
- Dan Rather, lamenting the end of WGN-TV's "Bozo"
"News is what somebody somewhere doesn't want you to know. All the
rest is advertising."
-Dan Rather
"If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise,
we don't believe in it at all."
-Noam Chomsky
"A people which is able to say everything becomes able to do
everything."
-Napoleon Bonaparte
