Quote of the Day

I know it's early, but I don't think anything's going to beat this one…

"America found a man whose character and leadership would bring calm and healing to one of the most divisive moments in our nation’s history." — President Bush, referring to former President Gerald Ford, without a trace of self-awareness or irony, as usual.

In a close runner-up reported by Atrios, Chris Matthews, as part of his running commentary during coverage of Ford's funeral, apparently referred to the Capitol with its "glittering dome" as "the helmet of the country." Mmm…phallicky.
