Barack Obama

Winston Churchill
Few of us are blessed with the wit and wisdom to deliver a withering one-line put-down quite like these celebrities who prove they are the best at saying the worst.
There have been many exquisite comebacks down the years, but one man was first among equals: Wartime Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
During his time in Parliament he often had occasion to square up to Conservative Lady Astor, first female MP and renowned wit.
Whether Lady Astor’s penchant for attacking Winnie was personal - he was a cigar-chomping renowned drinker and occasional sexist - their verbal their scuffles were dynamite.
Churchill emerged triumphant in a poll of 2,000 Britons to find history’s funniest insults to mark the release of “Behind the Candelabra” about the life Liberace, a man as famous for his acerbic wit as his outlandish lifestyle and outrageous stage outfits.
Meanwhile, famously articulate Churchill was as well-known for his scathing quips and dry sense of humour as he was the inspirational speeches he delivered during the Second World War.
He emerged triumphant in the survey after two of his best put-downs made it into the top ten, securing top spot for the line he delivered to Lady Astor, saying: “I may be drunk, miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly.”
Celebrity commentator Mark Frith said: “The art of the put-down was clearly mastered by the great wits of the 20th Century including Winston Churchill and Liberace.
“The war of words between figures in the public eye has long been a source of great entertainment for the public and it continues with the likes of Piers Morgan, Lord Sugar and Cheryl Cole trading insults and using the media or Twitter as their battleground.”
1. Winston Churchill to Lady Astor: “I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly.”
2. Barack Obama (in response to Sarah Palin’s joke that the only difference between a pitbull and a soccer mum was lipstick) “You can put lipstick on a pig… it’s still a pig.”
3. Liberace to a critic: “Thank you for your very amusing review. After reading it… I laughed all the way to the bank.”
4. Noel Gallagher on Robbie Williams: “You mean that fat dancer from Take That?”
5. Winston Churchill (on being disturbed in his toilet after a call from the Lord Privy Seal): “Tell him I can only deal with one s**t at a time.”
6. Frank Sinatra on Robert Redford: “Well at least he has found his true love – what a pity he can’t marry himself.”
7. Elizabeth Taylor: “Some of my best leading men have been dogs and horses.”
8. Groucho Marx: “She got her good looks from her father. He’s a plastic surgeon.”
9. Bette Midler on Princess Anne: “She loves nature, in spite of what it did to her.”
10. Liam Gallagher on Victoria Beckham: “She can’t even chew gum and walk in a straight line, let alone write a book.”

Oasis

"Cigarettes & Alcohol" is a song by Oasis, written by Noel Gallagher. It was released as the fourth single from their debut album Definitely Maybe, and their second to enter the UK top ten in the United Kingdom, peaking at #7 (three places higher than "Live Forever"), eventually spending 35 weeks on the charts, re-entering the Top 75 on several occasions until 1997. The single was released in the UK on October 10th 1994
Background
Whereas earlier singles "Supersonic" and "Shakermaker" had used psychedelic imagery, and "Live Forever" used softer chords and tender lyrics, "Cigarettes & Alcohol" was the first real taste of the wilder attitude that Oasis appeared to be promoting. The song proclaims the inherent appeal of cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs as a remedy to the banality and seemingly futile nature of the working class life. Lyrics such as "Is it worth the aggravation to find yourself a job when there's nothing worth working for?" taps into the common sentiment of western disenchantment that was particularly common in the mid-1990s.
Upon first hearing the song, the man who discovered the band, Alan McGee, claimed that the song was one of the greatest social statements anyone had made in the past 25 years.

Contrary to the sleeve notes, which claimed it was recorded at the Glasgow Cathouse in June 1994, "I Am the Walrus" was actually recorded at a soundcheck for a gig at the Gleneagles Hotel, Scotland on 6 February 1994, as part of a Sony Music seminar. The reason why this wasn't mentioned on the original sleevenotes is that Noel thought mentioning the fact that it was recorded at a corporate event would "look shit". The crowd noises at the beginning and end of the track are from a Faces bootleg of Noel's.
The single is the first Oasis release to feature the inclusion of a song not written by Noel Gallagher.
Noel in the Lock the Box interview says "I remember writing it in my flat in Manchester, and two guys used to live above me, and in those days, being the fucking geezer that I was, I used to write on the electric guitar with my amp in the fucking room, in a block of flats, on ten, and one of the guys passed me on the stairs and said "You're not gonna fucking write a song to that riff are you? That's fucking rubbish" and I was going "Listen fat arse, that's gonna be fucking amazing when it comes out"."
Noel has also said of "Cigarettes and Alcohol", "That song keeps getting better and better for me."
Noel claims that when they released "Cigarettes and Alcohol", he realised how big they were going to be. He said in an interview that "that was the moment when we realised we should belt up, it's gonna get a bit mad from here on in."

Mona
Noel Gallagher
Ohio rock band Mona who supported Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds. When we caught up with the foursome at Austin City Limits Fest, they told us about the ex-Oasis guitarist, he's actually an awesome touring partner.
"From his tour manager down to the drivers, they are the most professional, respectful people we've ever been around," Mona said about the controversial rocker. "He doesn't go out of his way to be overly friendly, but he's not a d-ck. He's not Morrissey." I believe that's what they call "Shots fired!" Your turn, Morrissey.
