"I think I'll order the duck..."

Niall Ferguson's op-ed piece in Monday's LA Times offered a veritable Chinese menu of great quotes. Tough to choose, but I think I'll order the duck:

"(If) his most trusted advisor goes down, the president will not merely be a lame duck. He will be a Peking duck. His enemies will be able to flake him off the bone and wrap him in Oriental pancakes."

"Board up the windows in D.C."
Niall Ferguson, LA Times, October 24, 2005
