Funny quote from Sarah Vowell's book, "The Partly Cloudy Patriot"

[Syrinx]

She's on Dave's show and Conan from time to time, and I always find her amusing. So, I'm enjoying reading her book, and I found this quote to be especially amusing:

"Campaign 2000 was what a mail-order catalog might call a real conversation piece. Thanks to the Internet and the twenty-four-hour news channels, the kind of inside-the-Beltway chat that used to be quarantined in the Sunday morning network TV talk shows is everywhere, all the time. It's Sunday morning every day. The political class has had this freakish population boom, as though that bitch George Will gave birth to a litter of bow-tied puppies and they all found homes."

2. Sarah Vowell gave me one of my favorite lines:

"I'm a partisan with a capital "P".

You should read _Take The Canolli_ as well. She's also a producer for "This American Life" on NPR.

One of my favorites. Can ya tell? ;)

4. That's funny...

In this book she says she's a Democrat with a capital "D."

5. She was great on C-Span when she read and took questions

I watched it twice. She is funny and quirky--I think she is hysterical. She use to have a column at www.salon.com , they still have them in the on-line archives.

6. I saw that on C-SPAN!

It was one Sunday afternoon a few months back. Must-see TV!
