Part of the joy of dancing is conversation. Trouble is, some men can't talk and dance at the same time.

Moe, you're gonna reach 250 posts or more just answering the quote guesses on your contest.
I like this quote, but it is not the answer, too few words.
Politicians, like diapers, have to be changed frequently - and for the very same reason.
Politics deserves much praise. Politics is a preoccupations of free men, and its existences is a test of freedom." Bernard Crick
Another one I like:
Politicians blow hot air across wind chimes and expect the people to hear the national anthem.
--Anon
People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use." Kierkegaard
"Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all others because you were born in it." G.B. Shaw

Let's throw a quote in from the current person sitting in the Oval Office, that fits the contest rules:
Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it. Not smack [heroin] though.
Barack Obama; Admitting taking cannabis and cocaine as a teenager, in 1995 memoir 'Dreams from My Father'.

Ratman4762 PM'd me with the following: Quote:
Can I assume the politician is a New Yorker? and is loud and clear 5x5? My reply to him: Hey Ratman4762! You are correct the Knickerbocker hint is in reference to the NY Knickerbockers (Knicks). It does NOT imply the quoter is a NYer. It is a more obscure reference. And you are also correct that Loud & Clear equals 5 by 5. NICE deciphering! I'm going to re-post all this on the contest so everyone can see it too! Moe Edited by Moe145

I deciphered. The encoding was quite tricky.
First, I noticed that the original text was a series of small English words. After trying a few variations with them, I got your hint of loud and clear which is 5x5. That told me that it was a form of a bifid cipher. I separated the letters into the words and noticed that no word was longer then 5 letters, which gave me the clue that the word length was the encoding method.
starting with 11 21 41 44 33 etc...
After writing it all out, I converted it to a standard 5x5 alphabet and got garbage.
A F Q T N J Q N L X N L D J Q F L H J T Q J Y Q G Y T L Q J W V X J Q N J D G Y Q N L Q H V Q T F D O Y N B F D R L Q V F R U R V R N M F Q N J D J W F B N W V Q N X V
to be exact
You gave the clue that the 1st letter was P, so I started trying various political words starting with p to see what fit. Once I tried patriotism, it all fell into place and was able to get the first 5 or 6 words, and google helped with the rest.
Thanks for the contest, it was very tricky.
