This may be either the dumbest or most pretentious thing ever said by a speaker of the House. It may be both the dumbest and most pretentious. Nancy Pelosi says:

"I have always loved longitude."

#7  How do you feel about latitude Madame Speaker? How do you feel about pork rinds, nachos, and beer? How do you feel about the frigging marbles you have lost?

#3  Well, I loved Longitude also.

"though the entire movie (DVD) was 200 minutes long, we felt as though it had taken less than an hour. The sets and costumes were beautiful, the acting was superb, the meshing together of the two different times worked extremely well, the "timing" was impeccable, the tension built wonderfully, and the climax was powerful. We never dreamed we would feel so strongly about a movie depicting what we originally thought would be a mundane, boring subject. We are grateful to the makers of this film for the attention to detail and the feeling they put into this movie. It came alive for us, and we now feel more appreciative toward those geniuses of former times who persevered against all odds to improve the human condition. "

What? Not that Longitude?
