Howard Zinn
“When Amelia Bloomer in 1851 suggested in her feminist publication that women wear a kind of short skirt and pants, to free themselves from the encumbrances of traditional dress, this was attacked in the popular women’s literature. One story has a girl admiring the “bloomer” costume, but her professor admonishes her that they are “only one of the many manifestations of that wild spirit of socialism and agrarian radicalism which is at present so rife in our land.”
Howard Zinn, A People's History of the United States: 1492 to Present

Richard Ben Cramer
“The fact was, the Senate’s “advise and consent” was intended, from the start, to forestall the President from remaking the Court in his image. The Senate had, for most of its two hundred years, scrutinized the philosophy and politics of nominees—not just their competence, or honesty. And when a President picked a justice for reasons of ideology, it was the Senate’s duty to examine that ideology.”
Richard Ben Cramer, What It Takes: The Way to the White House

“They didn’t ... and by the end of the campaign, Bush was well known as a worm, a weanling woodlouse, a weedy wort in the garden of politics, a wan, whimpering ... well, it was war.”
Richard Ben Cramer, What It Takes: The Way to the White House

Stacy Schiff
“Deeply idealistic — a moral people, Adams held, would elect moral leaders — he believed virtue the soul of democracy. To have a villainous ruler imposed on you was a misfortune. To elect him yourself was a disgrace.”
Stacy Schiff, The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams

“President of the United States. What a rotten job. You’re the guy or gal who’s always to blame. The economy. Foreign policy. Drugs in the schools. Crime on the streets … It’s all your fault.”
Gregg Stebben, White House Confidential: The Little Book of Weird Presidential History
