Paul Newman quotes

[underpants]

“I'm a supporter of gay rights. And not a closet supporter either. From the time I was a kid, I have never been able to understand attacks upon the gay community. There are so many qualities that make up a human being... by the time I get through with all the things that I really admire about people, what they do with their private parts is probably so low on the list that it is irrelevant.”

“The embarrassing thing is that the salad dressing is outgrossing my films.”

“If you're playing a poker game and you look around the table and and can't tell who the sucker is, it's you.”

“(Getting the truth in the New York Post has been as) difficult as finding a good hamburger in Albania.”

“I do not believe the framers of the Constitution would have considered this particular situation high crimes and misdemeanors.”

1. From the movie "The Verdict" but a great speech none the less.

Frank is giving his summation to the jury

Frank Galvin: You know, so much of the time we're just lost. We say, "Please, God, tell us what is right; tell us what is true." And there is no justice: the rich win, the poor are powerless. We become tired of hearing people lie. And after a time, we become dead... a little dead. We think of ourselves as victims... and we become victims. We become... we become weak. We doubt ourselves, we doubt our beliefs. We doubt our institutions. And we doubt the law. But today you are the law. You ARE the law. Not some book... not the lawyers... not the, a marble statue... or the trappings of the court. See those are just symbols of our desire to be just. They are... they are, in fact, a prayer: a fervent and a frightened prayer. In my religion, they say, "Act as if ye had faith... and faith will be given to you." IF... if we are to have faith in justice, we need only to believe in ourselves. And ACT with justice. See, I believe there is justice in our hearts.

5. Yes, Newman was on the original Nixon's enemies list,

with only 20 names. Later, longer lists were made.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixon%27s_enemies_list:

In a memorandum from John Dean to Lawrence Higby (August 16, 1971), Dean explained the purpose of the list succinctly:

“This memorandum addresses the matter of how we can maximize the fact of our incumbency in dealing with persons known to be active in their opposition to our Administration; stated a bit more bluntly—how we can use the available federal machinery to screw our political enemies.”

God, what a rotten party the GOP is!
