People were asking me to bring back the quote game, and who am I not to oblige?
QUOTE ONE:
Matthew Rozsa
I actually started with a quote that, since no one seemed to be guessing it, I took down on the grounds of it being too tough. Unfortunately, Christina Cruz actually DID figure out the identity of the quotemaker right before I removed it, thus unfairly denying her the credit she had earned... or so she thought.
Christina, you are hereby awarded the three hundred points you deserve for knowing that Miguel Cervantes said '"In order to attain the impossible, one must attempt the absurd."

QUOTE TWO:
Matthew Rozsa
Back by popular demand, it's THE SILLY QUOTE GAME! Now, for THREE HUNDRED POINTS:
This president famously met with protesters in the early AM hours at the Lincoln Memorial, and while chatting amiably with his avowed political enemies, bluntly admitted that ""I know you think we are a bunch of so and so's."
Christina Cruz
Johnson?

Fuck. If it were GWB, it'd probably have some fake Texas colloquialism in it (add "varmints" to the end, maybe) so ... Nixon?

Matthew Rozsa
I'll give you the points, Megan, because it was Richard Nixon.

I'll give it to you, Allison, since there is only one well-known Chelsea who you could possibly be thinking of (it's Handler, by the way).

QUOTE FIVE:
Matthew Rozsa
For four-hundred-and-forty-four-point-four points, tell me who said:
"My Jewishness is the dominant element in my life. From this has come my sympathy with the downtrodden masses which motivates all my work."
Please don't look the answers up. I know you have the ability to cheat, but that doesn't mean that you should do so. Otherwise, what makes you any better than Barry Bonds?

She is right, James, but you were surprisingly close. Sephardic Jews like Rivera and Cardozo are not as well in America as are their Ashkenazi counterparts (such as yours truly).

LMAO. Einstein?! I have no idea.

Interesting piece of trivia: Cardozo is the only Jew ever appointed to the Supreme Court by a Republican president. He was placed there by Herbert Hoover; the other Jewish judges were appointed by Woodrow Wilson (Louis Brandeis), Franklin Roosevelt (Felix Frankfurter), John Kennedy (Arthur Goldberg), Lyndon Johnson (Abe Fortas), and Bill Clinton (Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer). Indeed, the only Democratic president of the twentieth century to have an opportunity to appoint a Jewish judge who has refrained from doing so was, ironically, the same one who recognized Israel - Harry Truman (Jimmy Carter never got to appoint a judge, and Barack Obama's presidency hasn't ended yet, although I suspect he will eventually place Elena Kagan on the bench).

And I do believe that Cardozo said something very similar to Rivera's comment
