I think he intended to say, 'Corporations are my best friends' instead of 'Corporations are people, my friend.'

It could have been worse. He could have said that 'Soylent Green is people.'
I can see that my comedic talent is going to have fertile input during the upcoming American presidential election.
This is the 'sane one.'
