Potent Quotables

"I know, but I don't know about that, but you know what they really ought to do is..."

This is not so much a quote, although it was said, but about the person who said it. He is the type of person (unfortunately in a leadership position) that searches for a phrase that reminds him of something that he knows about. Once latched on, he will then espouse his complete knowledge, while someone tries to redirect him to the real topic at hand. This eventually leads to his conclusion, "I know, but I don't know about that, but you know what they really ought to do is..." which in turn, leads to another 5 minute diatribe. He doesn't stop until he has absolutely convinced himself that he is the smartest person in the room.
