Surely “Read my lips. No new taxes!!” has a special place in history.

ROFLMAO ….hahahahahaha….I seriously cannot wipe the grin off my face thinking of him uttering this line. How I wish I was there in person when he made this statement. After getting up off the floor and trying to gather myself in the middle of my laughing, I think my only retort could have been,
“Are you serious? You expect the public to buy that load of hor$e$h!t. The Mexican drug cartel uses your bank like an ATM and this is the best you've got.”
Put it in the record books as we will surely want to revisit this line and use it regularly for comic entertainment in the future. Let's also simultaneously induct Gulliver into the Sense on Cents Hall of Shame . . . after we all stop laughing of course.
If Gulliver and his cronies inside and outside of HSBC were not so pathetic perhaps his statement might truly be comical.
Do readers have other comments or lines that also deserve recognition in the “You Can't Make This Stuff Up” category?
