The results are in for the "Best Notable Quotables of 2006, the

Media video clips as well as MP3 audio clips. Check:

Last week we tabulated the votes and squeezed as many quotes as
we could into the eight-page hard copy version. It went off to the
printer on Wednesday night. A press release announcing the results is
going out this morning.
