   Top 10 Stupid Tom DeLay quotes:

   10) “I am not a federal employee. I am a constitutional officer. My job is the Constitution of the United States, I am not a government employee. I am in the Constitution.”
   - CNN interview, Dec. 19, 1995

   9) “Emotional appeals about working families trying to get by on $4.25 an hour [minimum wage at the time] are hard to resist. Fortunately, such families do not exist.”
   - During a debate in Congress on increasing the minimum wage, April 23, 1996

   8) “I don’t believe there is a separation of church and state. I think the Constitution is very clear. The only separation is that there will not be a government church.”

   7) “A woman can take care of the family. It takes a man to provide structure. To provide stability. Not that a woman can’t provide stability, I’m not saying that… It does take a father, though.”
   - In a radio interview, Feb. 10, 2004

   6) “Guns have little or nothing to do with juvenile violence. The causes of youth violence are working parents who put their kids into daycare, the teaching of evolution in the schools, and working mothers who take birth control pills.”
   - On causes of the Columbine High School massacre, 1999

   5) “Nothing is more important in the face of a war than cutting taxes.”
   - March 12, 2003

   4) “We’re no longer a superpower. We’re a super-duper power.”
   - Explaining why America must topple Saddam Hussein in 2002 interview with Fox News.

   3) “I AM the federal government.”
   - To the owner of Ruth’s Chris Steak House, after being told to put out his cigar because of federal government regulations banning smoking in the building, May 14, 2003

   2) “Now tell me the truth boys, is this kind of fun?”
   - To three young hurricane evacuees from New Orleans at the Astrodome in Houston, Sept. 9, 2005

   And the #1 stupid DeLay quote!:

   “So many minority youths had volunteered that there was literally no room for patriotic folks like myself.”
   - Explaining at the 1988 GOP convention why he and vice presidential nominee Dan Quayle did not fight in the Vietnam War
