These are Shapiro's 10 most memorable quotes for 2007, in descending order:
10. "I think as far as the adverse impact on the nation around the world, this administration has been the worst in history." -Former President Jimmy Carter, referring to the Bush administration in an interview with the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette newspaper
9. "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man." -Sen. Joseph Biden, referring to rival Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama
8. "(I have) a wide stance when going to the bathroom." -Idaho Republican Sen. Larry Craig, explaining why his foot touched the foot of an undercover police officer in an airport men's room
7. "I'm not going to get into a name-calling match with somebody who has a 9 percent approval rating." -Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat, referring to Republican Vice President Dick Cheney
6. "There's only three things he (Republican presidential candidate and former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani) mentions in a sentence: a noun and a verb and
9/11." Sen. Joseph Biden, speaking during a debate for Democratic presidential candidates
5. "I don't recall." -Former U.S. Attorney Alberto Gonzales' repeated response to questions from members of Congress about the firing of U.S. attorneys
4. "That's some nappy-headed hos there." -Radio personality Don Imus, referring to the Rutgers University women's basketball team
3. "In Iran we don't have homosexuals like in your country." -Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, during a speaking engagement at Columbia University in New York
2. "I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because some people out there in our nation don't have maps and I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and Iraq and everywhere like such as and I believe that they should our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S. or should help South Africa and should help Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future for us." -Lauren Upton, the South Carolina contestant in the Miss Teen America contest, when asked why one-fifth of Americans cannot find the U.S on a map
And, my personal favorite....
1. "Don't tase me, bro." -Andrew Meyer, a senior at the University of Florida, after being hauled away by campus police during a speech made by Sen. John Kerry
Have you ever seen someone get tased? I have, many times... it's not pretty. I watched our whole Sheriff's Dept. get tased... the guys did it so they could testify in court as to the actualy feelig/effects of being tased.
In case you haven't seen a true tase for yourself, here's an early Christmas present from me. Were the cops right or wrong? Well, to me that's not what's important here. What's important to me is that if I ever have a cop tell me I'm getting tased, you better belive I will stop resisting. There's nothing worse than a strong volt of electricity raging through your body and then risking peeing your pants in front of a room full of university students and a presidential candidate. Talk about a bad day!
May your New Year go out with a bang and not a sizzle!

I'm sure Jimmy Carter is ready to denounce any presidency as the worst in history, since his presidency currently holds that slot.
After watching a history channel series that covers every president from the inception of this country to current day- I think that anyone that makes such a broad statement has limited knowledge of US history. We've had some pretty incompetent presidents.
I saw the video of Dick Robertson getting tased. That's quality footage. You should ask campus police if they still have it.
Ha! That would be amazing to see. Maybe you can put it up on the homepage? :)
