Several have to do with his libertarian principles, like "No matter how much power government has, it never has enough." Others are more holistic, like "The world is full of idiots." There are deeply personal ones: "The most difficult thing about politics is dealing with people with really bad breath." </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/08/18/politics/washingtonpost/main4357489.shtml"><DIV>Really? </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/08/18/politics/washingtonpost/main4357489.shtml"><DIV>"You wouldn't believe," Barr explains in his deathly serious way. "Some people -- just awful halitosis." </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/08/18/politics/washingtonpost/main4357489.shtml">Is there any human being on the planet more committed to his seriousness than Bob Barr?</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/08/18/politics/washingtonpost/main4357489.shtml"><DIV>Bob Barr's law: "Never run a 100-yard dash in a 90-yard room." </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/08/18/politics/washingtonpost/main4357489.shtml"><DIV>What does that mean? </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/08/18/politics/washingtonpost/main4357489.shtml"><DIV>"It doesn't mean anything," he says, and then adds, sternly, "It's a joke." </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/08/18/politics/washingtonpost/main4357489.shtml">And yet, every once in a while, the strangest thing happens.
