John Stumpf, President & CEO, Wells Fargo Bank. Re sub-prime meltdown: ...Stumpf said he didn't even know about some of the exotic mortgage investments that enticed other banks until he read about them in the newspaper."It's interesting that the industry has invented new ways to lose money when the old ways seemed to work just fine."

Michael O'Leary, CEO, Ryanair. 
"This is the problem with all this environmental claptrap . . . it's a convenient excuse for politicians to just start taxing people. Some of these guilt-laden, middle-class liberals think it's somehow good: 'Oh, that's my contribution to the environment.' It's not. You're just being robbed--it's just highway [bleeping] robbery." Michael O'Leary, chief executive of Irish low-fare air carrier Ryanair; 9/15/07. http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110010607
The UK's Guardian newspaper wrote in June 2005 about Michael O'Leary: "I don't give a shite if nobody likes me," he told one interviewer, stressing that he was a businessman through and through. "I am not a cloud bunny, I am not an aerosexual. I don't like aeroplanes. I never wanted to be a pilot like those other platoons of goons who populate the air industry."Casual abuse is O'Leary's stock in trade. He has described the European commission as "morons", the airport operator BAA as "overcharging rapists". Britain's air traffic control service is "poxy", British Airways are "expensive bastards" and travel agents are "f-----s" who should be "taken out and shot".

Julia Roberts.
"Republican - found in the dictionary between reptile and repugnant." What actress Julia Roberts said a few years back in an interview. Isn't Julia between vile and vulgar?
