I'm sure we'll all be giving some of our favorite TV quotes of the year at some point this week or next. Over at TV Newser, Brian is collecting some of the best quotes from the world of network and cable news.

"You're either Edward R. Murrow or you're Pat O'Brien from The Insider. Pick one." - Tucker Carlson, to Anderson Cooper.

Tucker, Tucker, Tucker. This same exact quote could be said about you.

After the jump, some more of my of my favorites.

"You will never see [me] anchoring a program from a whorehouse." - Deborah Norville, about Rita Cosby.

Yeah, I'm sure Inside Edtion has never done anything sleazy or bad.

"Wouldn't nature then make it so anybody could get pregnant by eating a cupcake?" - Bill O'Reilly, on gay couples with kids.

You could take up an entire column with just stuff O'Reilly has said over the year, but I like the image of him saying the word "cupcake."

"The president makes decisions, he's the decider. The press secretary announces those decisions, and you people of the press type those decisions down. Make, announce, type. Put them through a spell check and go home. Get to know your family again. Make love to your wife. Write that novel you got kicking around in your head. You know, the one about the intrepid Washington reporter with the courage to stand up to the administration. You know -- fiction." - Stephen Colbert, at the White House Correspondent's Dinner.

Colbert's speech was one of the funniest things anyone has done in the past five years.

"What's scary right now is the average age of the network news viewer is 60 years old." - CBS' Les Moonves, to FOX News' Neil Cavuto.

"I say take that $20 million and buy 40 reporters, 40 new reporters." - Andy Rooney, to Larry King, about Katie Couric's salary.
