Where did I leave that incendiary, again?

I'm pretty sure I remember reading an online interview with Alan Keyes in which he said something like "Computer Science has spent the last fifty years stewing in its own recycled bullshit." However, I'm having trouble finding a cite. Anyone got one? I'd like to quote it in a talk, but I want to make sure I've got it right.

You mean Alan Kay, not Alan Keyes. Kay is the computer scientist; Keyes is the ultraconservative weirdo.

I couldn't find an actual quote, but I did find this LiveJournal entry that refers to a lecture by Kay and contains the phrase "computer scientists are stewing in their own recycled bullshit." But it doesn't indicate that Kay actually said those words, so I'm not sure what to think.
