Verbatim

"You know, if I were a single man, I might ask that mummy out. That's a good-looking mummy!"
--President Clinton, at a Democratic Party fund raiser, on the subject of the frozen, 500-year-old Inca "ice princess" on display at the National Geographic Society in Washington

"In high school she dated Bob Dole."
--Senator Joseph Lieberman, at the same fund raiser, referring to the same mummy

"I know this is going to come as a big surprise to you, but I have been a longtime fan of Boy George's music."
--House majority leader Dick Armey, after comparing Clinton to a "Karma Chameleon"
