Dick Armey: “Barney Fag,” 1995

During a 1995 radio interview, Dick Armey of Texas, the Republican Majority leader, discussed a book that he had written about freedom: "I like peace and quiet, and I don't have to listen to Barney Fag -- Barney Frank -- haranguing in my ear because I made a few bucks off a book I worked on."[1]


Barney Frank: "Miss America," 2008

Asking the Republican White House to support more government intervention to help homeowners at risk of foreclosure is "like asking me to judge the Miss America contest -- if your heart's not in it, you don't do a very good job."[2]


Gertrude Stein: "she was gay then," 1908-1912

"She told many then the way of being gay, she taught very many then ways they could use in being gay. She was living very well, she was gay then, she went on living then, she was regular in being ay, she always was living very well and was gay very well and was telling about little ways one could be learning to use in being gay, and later was telling them quite often, telling them again and again."[3]
