The chicken wanted change!<\/p>\n<p>JOHN MC CAIN: My friends, that chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need to engage in cooperation and dialogue with<br \/>\nall the chickens on the other side of the road&#8230;<br \/>\nSARAH PALIN: Because by golly, I was gonna shoot his sorry liberal ass for blockin&#8217; my view of Russia !<br \/>\nHILLARY CLINTON: When I was First Lady, I personally helped that little chicken to cross the road. This experience makes me uniquely qualified<br \/>\nto ensure right from Day One that every chicken in this country gets the chance it deserves to cross the road. But then, this really isn&#8217;t about me.<br \/>\nGEORGE W. BUSH: We don&#8217;t really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not.<br \/>\nThe chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.<br \/>\nDICK CHENEY: Where&#8217;s my gun?<br \/>\nCOLIN POWELL: Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road.<br \/>\nBILL CLINTON: I did not cross the road with that chicken. What is your definition of crossing?<br \/>\nAL GORE: I invented the chicken.<br \/>\nJOHN KERRY: Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled<br \/>\nabout the chicken&#8217;s intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.<br \/>\nAL SHARPTON: Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens.<br \/>\nDR. PHIL: The problem we have here is that this chicken won&#8217;t realize that he must first deal with the problem on this side of the road before<br \/>\nit goes after the problem on the other side of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he&#8217;s acting by not taking on his current<br \/>\nproblems before adding new problems.<br \/>\nOPRAH: Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the<br \/>\nchicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I&#8217;m going to give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road<br \/>\nand not live his life like the rest of the chickens.<br \/>\nANDERSON COOPER: We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road.<br \/>\nNANCY GRACE: That chicken crossed the road because he&#8217;s guilty! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks.<br \/>\nPAT BUCHANAN: To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.<\/p>\n<p>MARTHA STEWART: No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmers Market to sell my<br \/>\neggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.<br \/>\nDR SEUSS: Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I&#8217;ve not been told.<br \/>\nERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die in the rain, alone.<br \/>\nJERRY FALWELL: Because the chicken was gay! Can&#8217;t you people see the plain truth? That&#8217;s why they call it the other side.<br \/>\nYes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And if you eat that chicken, you will become gay, too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this<br \/>\nabomination that the liberal media whitewashes with seemingly harmless phrases like the other side. That chicken should not be crossing the road.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s as plain and as simple as that.<br \/>\nGRANDPA: In my day we didn&#8217;t ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.<br \/>\nBARBARA WALTERS: Isn&#8217;t that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heart warming story of<br \/>\nhow it experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish its lifelong dream of crossing the road.<br \/>\nARISTOTLE: It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.<br \/>\nJOHN LENNON: Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.<br \/>\nBILL GATES: I have just released eChicken2008, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents,<br \/>\nand balance your checkbook. Internet Explorer is an integral part of eChicken2008. This new platform is much more stable and will never crash.<br \/>\nALBERT EINSTEIN: Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?<br \/>\nCOLONEL SANDERS: Did I miss one?<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div
