So, to kick it off, we turn to someone very familiar, and many times featured on the pages of The Garlic, satirist Barry Crimmins, who takes away the Best Line of the Day;
“Either Giuliani is waiting for the heat to blow over concerning numerous scandals that his felonious police commissioner, Bernard Kerik somehow neglected or Rudy is protesting the unfairness of his party’s decision to hold all its primaries and caucuses on days other than September 11.”
This comes from Crimmins’ post today, “Crazy Dicks”, which also offered another gem;

And it’s a day of riches (pun intended), as NYT columnist Frank Rich rings in with the Headline of the Day;
