2. "Read my lips: no new taxes"

3. "I've looked at a lot of women with lust. I've committed adultery in my heart many times"

4. "That depends what the meaning of is, is"

5. "You know, I've always wondered about the taping equipment, but I'm damned glad we had it".

Anyone like to do an Irish list?
