Riga Latvian Society is selecting the most amusing quote of the year ("Spārnotais teiciens") every year. In 2007, Latvian politicians provided them with
a lot of candidates:
- "Today, I prefer not to lie on live TV" - Ainārs Šlesers, minister of transportation;
- "You, please, don't lie instead of me" - Jānis Urbanovičs, member of the parliament;
- "I'm ready for this step, but I'm not sure in which direction should I step" - Indulis Emsis, ex-speaker of parliament, a few days before his resignation;
- "My opinion has not changed, it has evolved" - Artis Pabriks, minister of foreign affairs;
- "I'm the guarantee of stability" - ex-PM Aigars Kalvitis, a few months before his government started going down in flames.
And, from Russia:
- "They [Latvia] will only get ears of a dead donkey from us" - Vladimir Putin, when asked whether Russia will ever return Abrene district to Latvia.
Overall, people have submitted hundreds of quotes to the contest. And Riga Latvian Society is still accepting new nomination for a few more days...

Thanks so much for this post. A combination of advice that I've heard before but always bears repeating; plus new tips that I really ought to consider
It's hard to find well-informed people for this topic, but you sound like you know what you're talking about!
Thanks
