"I don't believe there's any issue that's more important than this one," said Republican Sen. David Vitter.
Sure, I mean it isn't like we're in the middle of a war.

BOH. Said to be the name of a Danish general, who so terrified his opponent Foh, that he caused him to bewray himself. Whence, when we smell a stink, it is custom to exclaim, Foh! i.e. I smell general Foh. He cannot say Boh to a goose; i.e. he is a cowardly or sheepish fellow. There is a story related of the celebrated Ben Jonson, who always dressed very plain; that being introduced to the presence of a nobleman, the peer, struck by his homely appearance and awkward manner, exclaimed, as if in doubt, "you Ben Johnson! why you look as if you could not say Boh to a goose!" "Boh!" replied the wit.

Hmm... I'm maybe not helping.

Sure, I mean it isn't like we're in the middle of a war.
If that's the same guy, Jon Stewart showed a clip of him saying that, and the rest of the quote (shown on the clip) is, in fact, "This is ten times more important than the war in Iraq and the global war on terror combined." [emphasis his]
