Slipping into Saturday morning blogging easily, here are the political quotes of the week from Politico.com. As usual a couple teasers:
“Republicans are struggling right now to find the great white hope.” –Rep. Lynn Jenkins, in response to a question about the future of the GOP.
It feels a bit like 9/11 on Martha’s Vineyard.” –Journalist Matt Cooper, Twittering from Massachusetts in the wake of Kennedy’s passing.
“Barack is now the last brother.” –MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, explaining Obama’s connection to the Kennedy tradition
That’s a weird quote from Mathews. I think he needs some time off.
