WEEKEND QUOTABLES


Jim Carroll
“In basketball, you can correct your mistakes immediately and beautifully, and in midair.” -- Esquire
Betsy DeVos
Education Secretary Betsy DeVos compared the choice to have an abortion with the choice to own slaves, saying President Abraham Lincoln also had to contend with a misguided “pro-choice” argument. -- Washington Post
Chesa Boudin
John Raphling, Human Rights Watch
“For too long, prosecutors have used money bail and pretrial incarceration as leverage to pressure people to plead guilty regardless of actual guilt. Boudin’s policy favoring pretrial release is a welcome change and will build the credibility of our courts.” -- The Nation
Mary Louise Kelly, “All Things Considered” host on NPR
Kelly, remarkably, said that Pompeo asked her after the interview, “Do you think Americans care about Ukraine?” and asked her to find the country on a blank map, apparently suggesting she didn’t even know. She said she did, and Pompeo concluded the scene by saying, “People will hear about this.” -- Washington Post
 Donald Trump
"Take her out." -- Recording
