Google knows: That’s what she said

Google has a new toy in the lab: In Quotes.

In Quotes finds and compares, uh, quotes from stories linked to from Google News. Want to know what presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain said about Iraq? Oil? The bailout? Design? Bananas? (They haven’t said anything about bananas. Yet.)

Cycle through quotes, or hit “spin” to compare randomly selected quotes on a single topic. There are 20 people to choose from (only five are women; more Democrats than Republicans) for the U.S. edition; Canada, India and the United Kingdom editions are also available. The 20 most popular searches are show, but you can search for any keyword(s) you want. (Hence the banana search!)

So go ahead: See what McCain and Obama have to say about dogs and lipstick.
