...actually, I can't complain about this...

I've had this quote in my head on and off for about a week. Until I looked it up, I could have sworn it was Cain that said it, but whatever. Not that I'm complaining either about having it in my head or about being wrong. It's the most normal thing my brain has produced in too long.
"Let's all sit down and talk about how we feel about martial law."
     ~ Ellen Tigh, (Battlestar Galactica, 2003; 2x04)

full quote the above is part of;
"I don't know, it just feels kind of... touchy-feely. You know, 'Let's all sit down and talk about how we feel about martial law.' Bill would never do that. But you gotta do what you gotta do. I mean, Bill may never get on his feet again. Honey... honey, you handle this the way you want. They'll respect that. Eventually."
(it was the directly-agressive mocking main point I thought Cain said (either to Roslin or Adama), not the passive/manipulative bit. If I had remembered any of that, there's no way. Ellen is the BSG queen of bitchy manipulation.)

Don't say it; I refuse to admit my brain is connecting this to anything in relivent news.
Also, because I'm actually a little linear today, I am not obsessing on people I know or know of who pull this BS. Linear is nice.
