The Best and Worst Statements of 2006

With the statement “There is no state with a democracy except Libya on the whole planet,” Libya’s Muammar Gadaffi has produced the worst statement globally of 2006, according to StatementBank, an international association of spokespersons that evaluated last year’s statements worldwide.

Italy’s former Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi came in second with “I am the Jesus Christ of politics.” ENRON’s former CEO Jeffrey Skilling was also on the list, claiming “Our stockholders and our owners knew exactly what they needed to know.”

Bush wins

President George W. Bush is honored with last year’s best statement with:

“I will not withdraw even if Laura and Barney are the only ones supporting me.” Barney is the President’s dog. The Russian President, Vladimir Putin, in response to George W. Bush’s comment that Russia should emulate democracy in Iraq, ranked second with “We certainly would not want to have the same kind of democracy as they have in Iraq.”
