Quotes of the night

On the resignation of Tom Ridge, Secretary of Homeland Security:

"Can I tell you today there are X number of incidents that we were able to thwart or prevent? Cannot. Am I fairly confident, confident that we probably have? Yes, I am, but it's still difficult to prove something unless I could point to a specific case."
~Tom Ridge, taking questions after his resignation speech

*******************

"Mission not....unaccomplished, presumably?"
~Jon Stewart, summarizing Ridge's statement
