QotD
"I grew up outside of this country, and I watched
this country when I was a kid, growing up ... America
was the beacon of everything that was good. Everything
that was right, everything that was aspirational
to me was in America -- it's the reason that I ended up
here. And I've thought that the whole time I've been
here -- I've been here fourteen years -- and for a long
time, I've had a hard time trying to sell that to some
Americans. But I think that changed last night.
I'm very proud to be an American today; I'm proud of
this nation for what we did." -- Craig Ferguson, regarding
the election of Barack Obama, on the CBS television program,
The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson, episode
aired in the wee hours of 2008-11-06 (recorded 2008-11-05)
[I'm interpreting his statement as meaning he
feels extra-proud to be an American, given that
he has already come across as quite proud of being an
American every time the topic has come up since he got
his citizenship.]
