Remember when Christine O'Donnell solemnly looked into our eyes and declared, "I'm not a witch"? That little gem has topped (well, tied for tops) 2010's list of most memorable quotes, according to the Yale Book of Quotations. Giving O'Donnell a run for her money was Tony Hayward's "I'd like my life back" lament, reports the AP. Among others:
- "If you touch my junk, I'm gonna have you arrested." passenger John Tyner to TSA worker at San Diego airport, Nov. 13
- "Don't retreat. Instead _ reload!" Sarah Palin, tweet, March 23
- "Chi! Chi! Chi! Le! Le! Le! Los mineros de Chile!" Chant at Chilean mine rescue, Oct. 13
- "I hope that's not where we're going, but you know, if this Congress keeps going the way it is, people are really looking toward those Second Amendment remedies. They're saying: My goodness, what can we do to turn this country around?" Sharron Angle, interview in January
- "We have to pass the (health care) bill so you can find out what is in it." Nancy Pelosi, speech to National Association of Counties, March 9
- "I'm going to take my talents to South Beach." LeBron James, television broadcast, July 8
