Witch Quote Tops List

Former Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell has won first place in Yale University’s list of the year’s best quotes. O’Donnell, quoted as denying being a witch, tied for the lead with BP’s Tony Hayward. He was quoted as wishing his life back in the wake of the worst offshore oil spill in history.


Quotable Notables

Fred Shapiro at Yale
Tallied up all of the votes
And released his new list
Of the year’s favorite quotes.

At the top of the heap,
Because of a tie,
There’s a lady newsmaker
As well as a guy.

First, Tony Hayward,
The chief at BP
For wishing his life back
As his oil stained the sea.

And sharing the lead
At the top of the niche
Is Christine O’Donnell,
Who denied that she's a witch.

Of the folks who made news,
Among women and men,
Christine and Tony
Lead Yale Law School's top ten.
