Here's my favorite Ambrose quote --- I can't make it fit on a tagline:

In truth, he is a traitor. I am no more impressed by his being a veteran than I am by Lee Harvey Oswald, Jeffrey Dahmer, or Timothy McVeigh's veteran status...

A similar statement:

"But George McGovern also could boast that he was "a decorated combat pilot in World War II," while his opponent "was stationed far from battle," and McGovern nonetheless lost 49 states, largely because the voters thought him weak on national security. Kerry may not project a similar image of weakness, but the record he has compiled in the three decades since he left Vietnam is more dovish than that of any Democratic nominee since McGovern."

Golly, I just noticed that the tag(just put it in) was cut off. The quote originated from a guy named Ambrose.

--Ambrose Bierce, "The Devil's Dictionary"

I tried to cut and paste the quote to fit with the proper attribution, but I could not.

So I changed the tag.
