Man of the Year

Tom Dobbs: [quoting Benjamin Franklin] "Politicians are a lot like diapers. They should be changed frequently, and for the same reason."

(Watch "Man of the Year" Movie)

Tom Dobbs: People say Intelligent Design, we must teach Intelligent Design. Look at the human body, is that intelligent? You have a waste processing plant next to a recreation area.

Hemmings:
Will you be disappointed to be going back to television after this ride?
Eddie Langston: Oh, no. I have a glorious love-hate relationship with TV.
Hemmings:
How so?
Eddie Langston:
TV scares me. It makes everything seem credible.
Hemmings:
Why is that so bad?
Eddie Langston:
If everything seems credible then nothing seems credible. You know, TV puts everybody in those boxes, side-by-side. On one side, there's this certifiable lunatic who says the Holocaust never happened. And next to him is this noted, honored historian who knows all about the Holocaust. And now, there they sit, side-by-side, they look like equals! Everything they say seems to be credible. And so, as it goes on, nothing seems credible anymore! We just stopped listening!
