For anybody out there living in cave, let me just say this: Congratulations. You've apparently made the soundest real estate investment possible.— Jon Stewart
The beauty of that quote being the incisive joke coming on the heels of a completely cliched lead-in that unexpectedly becomes part of the joke itself.
A few more quotes, not so funny, just pointed and true:

— Newt Gingrich
This is scare tactics to try to do something that's in the private but not the public interest. It's terrible.
— Allan Meltzer, former economic adviser to President Reagan and Carnegie Mellon professor of political economy, quoted in the New York Times

— New York Times front-page analysis by reporter Peter S. Goodman
