The highlight for me:
Quote
You’ve long argued for the decriminalization of marijuana. Do you smoke weed?
No.

Why not?
Why do you ask a question, then act surprised when I give an answer? Do you think I lie to people?

I thought you might explain why you support decriminalizing it but don’t smoke it.
Do you think I’ve ever had an abortion? I don’t play poker on the Internet, either.

Okay, the initial response to “why not” seemed needlessly aggressive. But the last one is totally great.

I've had enough of your snide insinuations.

Mockery of ideas you don't comprehend or understand is the surest mark of unintelligence.

Even the worst union is better than the best Walmart.

"Disingenuous assertions" was, I believe, the original quote. :P

Still, yours fits, too.

I was quoting Mass Effect 1

Disingenuous is from Mass Effect 2 :P

You know, I can't really stand to hear Frank talk, because I used to listen to the Rachel Maddow show and there was a stretch of about three weeks where it seemed like he was on every other show...

But damn if he doesn't make a good argument.
There is light and darkness in the world, to be sure.  However, there's no harm to be had in walking in the shade or shadows.
