Voters in South Dakota rejected a strict ban on abortion. Said one voter, “We like to restrict abortion the old fashioned way, by having one clinic for the whole state.”

President Bush said he gave new House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, "The names of some Republican interior decorators... for her new office."

Pelosi replied, “How ironic. Republican “interior decorators” are half the reason why I have a new office.”

Evangelical pastor Mark Driscoll blamed Ted Haggard’s homosexual romps on wife Gayle, saying, “A wife who is not sexually available to her husband... may not be helping.”

He added, “Also, in 1988, Gayle refused to give George Michael a blow job during the Wham! Tour, and I think we all know how that turned out.”
