Watching Republicans in Washington is like watching lemmings, if lemmings jumped into cesspools instead of off cliffs.

P. J. O'Rourke

Lemmings with suicide vests. It's kind of an insult to lemmings to call them lemmings, so they'd have to be more than just a lemming, because jumping to your death is not enough.

I'm driving down the freeway the other day, on my way to Knott's Scary Farm probably, and I hear this report on NPR that the whole lemmings thing was faked in the 1950s. They were shooting a wildlife documentary in the '50s, they found a group of lemmings, and the crew chased them all off a cliff. No lemming has ever jumped off a cliff, purposefully, ever. Isn't that unbelievable?

Cassandra Peterson

I believed that lemmings really jump off of cliffs.

Matt Riddle

Our leaders are acting like lemmings.

Jack Herer

Record companies, they're just like lemmings.

The Republicans finally got some good news over the weekend. The North Koreans set off a nuclear bomb. Thank God. It was so powerful it knocked the Mark Foley story right off the front page. And knocked him off the page he was on, too.

Jay Leno

Venture capitalists are like lemmings jumping on the software bandwagon.

Adam Osborne

I've probably said a million times in my life something about, "All those people are just lemmings. They'd follow each other off a cliff." Well, no such thing.

Cassandra Peterson

It's kind of like an out of body experience, watching my words being spoken by the actors, watching the portrayal of me by John David Washington.

Ron Stallworth

We're all sheep and lemmings to some degree.

Max Minghella

A pack of lemmings looks like a group of rugged individualists compared with Wall Street when it gets a concept in its teeth.

Warren Buffett

I'm always watching. I'm watching everybody. San Antonio, Houston, Golden State, Washington, Boston, I'm watching everything. And my mind is always going: it's always running, and you're always trying to get an advantage somehow.

Tyronn Lue

A: The soul wanders in the dark, until it finds love. And so, wherever our love goes, there we find our soul. Q: It always happens? A: If we're lucky. And if we let ourselves be blind. Q: Instead of watching out? A: Instead of always watching out.
