I knew that line reminded me of an old SNL skit:

http://snltranscripts.jt.org/88/88adebate.phtml Bush-Dukakis Debate

Peter Jennings.....Tom Hanks Diane Sawyer.....Jan Hooks Sam Donaldson.....Kevin Nealon Michaek Dukakis.....Jon Lovitz George Bush.....Dana Carvey David Brinkley.....Phil Hartman

Diane Sawyer: You have fifty seconds left, Mr. Vice-President. George Bush: Let me sum up. On track, stay the course. Thousand points of light. Diane Sawyer: Governor Dukakis. Rebuttal? Michael Dukakis: I can't believe I'm losing to this guy!
