Quotes from 1776 - The Musical

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068156/quotes

"That strutting popinjay was so damn sure of himself. He's had time to come back with a dozen proposals by now! " - Reminds me of a quote we could make about Boehner

"I have come to the conclusion that one useless man is called a disgrace; that two are called a law firm, and that three or more become a Congress!"

'A second flood, a simple famine, plagues of locusts everywhere, or a cataclysmic earthquake, I'd accept with some despair. But no, You sent us Congress! Good God, Sir, was that fair? "
