So, why doesn't he post his cite if it exists and it's so easy?  Just where
did he get this quote to begin with?

Sure, I've seen this quote before, but no one has EVER been able to provide
a cite.  Posters here, including Conservatives, have indeed spent hours
crafting very realistic, but false, transcripts and quotes.
