"Don't Tase Me, Bro," a phrase that swept the nation after a U.S. college student used it seeking to stop campus police from throwing him out of a speech by Sen. John Kerry, was named on Wednesday as the most memorable quote of 2007.
Fred R. Shapiro, the editor of the Yale Book of Quotations, said the plea made by University of Florida student Andrew Meyer on September 17, accompanied by Meyer's screams as he was tased, beat out the racial slur that cost shock jock Don Imus his job and the Iranian president's declaration that his country does not have homosexuals.
#2 was from Miss Teen South Carolina such as....
Third was Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's October comment at Columbia University in New York, "In Iran we don't have homosexuals like in your country."
Shock jock Don Imus comments about the Rutgers University women's basketball team: "That's some nappy-headed hos there," was fourth.
8. "(I have) a wide stance when going to the bathroom." -- Idaho Republican Sen. Larry Craig's explanation of why his foot touched that of an undercover policeman in a men's room.
The rest of the list is here:
P.S. To think John Kerry could have been the President is skerry. He stood by and did nothing while the student was being tasered. And why was the young kid being escorted out for asking questions? Free speech, eh? Yeah, right.
P.S.S. This is a funny video someone did on youtube. Hammertime? Hammer was so-nicknamed because of a resemblance to....Hammerin' Hank Aaron....one of the players coined the name when Hammer was a batboy for the Oakland A's.
P.S.S. Almost forgot the Christmas tune.
