hehe good stuff. I have had these dan quail quotes saved as well. Here are some more quotes from...a troubled politican.lol Dan Quail.

It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it.

-- Vice President Dan Quayle

I believe we are on an irreversible trend toward more freedom and democracy - but that could change.

-- Vice President Dan Quayle, 5/22/89 (reported in Esquire, 8/92)

The Holocaust was an obscene period in our nation's history. I mean in this century's history. But we all lived in this century. I didn't live in this century.

-- Senator Dan Quayle, 9/15/88 (reported in Esquire, 8/92, The New Yorker, 10/10/88, p.102)

This election is about who's going to be the next President of the United States!

-- Senator Dan Quayle, 9/2/88 (reported in Esquire, 8/92)

One word sums up probably the responsibility of any vice president, and that one word is `to be prepared'.

-- Vice President Dan Quayle, 12/6/89 (reported in Esquire, 8/92)

If we do not succeed, then we run the risk of failure.

-- Vice President Dan Quayle, to the Phoenix Republican Forum, 3/23/90 (reported in Esquire, 8/92) Also reported by Reuters, 5/2/90

Let me just tell you how thrilling it really is, and how, what a challenge it is, because in 1988 the question is whether we're going forward to tomorrow or whether we're going to go past to the -- to the back!

-- Senator Dan Quayle, 8/17/88 (reported in Esquire, 8/92)

What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is.

-- Vice President Dan Quayle winning friends while speaking to the United Negro College Fund, 5/9/89 This gem has been added to Bartlett's `Familiar Quotations'. (reported in Esquire, 8/92) (reported in the NY Times, 12/9/92)

Take a breath, Al... Inhale.

-- Vice President Dan Quayle politely cutting off Senator Al Gore during the VP Debate in Atlanta, 10/13/92. Gov. Zell Miller of Georgia said that Dan Quayle reminded him of one of his grandkids when they've had too much sugar.

Republicans understand the importance of bondage between a mother and child.

-- Senator Dan Quayle, US News and World Report (10/10/88)

Hawaii has always been a very pivotal role in the Pacific. It is in the Pacific. It is a part of the United States that is an island that is right here.

-- Vice President Dan Quayle, Hawaii, 4/25/89 (reported in Esquire, 8/92)

Welcome to President Bush, Mrs. Bush, and my fellow astronauts.

-- Vice President Dan Quayle addressing the 20th anniversary celebration of the moon landing, 7/20/89 (reported in Esquire, 8/92)

Mars is essentially in the same orbit... Mars is somewhat the same distance from the Sun, which is very important. We have seen pictures where there are canals, we believe, and water. If there is water, that means there is oxygen. If oxygen, that means we can breathe.

-- Vice President Dan Quayle, 8/11/89 (reported in Esquire, 8/92)

The loss of life will be irreplaceable.

-- Vice President Dan Quayle after the San Francisco earthquake, 10/19/89 (reported in Esquire, 8/92)

Bobby Knight told me this: ``There is nothing that a good defense cannot beat a better offense.'' In other words a good offense wins.

-- Senator Dan Quayle, in a speech to the City Club of Chicago, comparing the offensive capabilities of the Warsaw Pact with the defensive system of NATO, 9/8/88 (reported in Esquire, 8/92)

wow, someone found mis-haps among perhaps more than 1 million public words that someone has spoken.

ooooh im so impressed

If I were to browse through a million words of a public speaker (which cannot be edited like a post or a written speech), I'm sure I would find some mis-haps also

i wonder if the idiot that put that website up has ever once in his life mis-spelled a word, mis-formulated a sentence or ever spoke something that came out wrong.

C'mon man...no one screws up THAT much without being a dolt. And they forgot my favorite (and he DID say this):

"Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice...uh...you won't fool me again!"

So what if he says these things, they are fun to poke at, but that's about it.

Indeed.

Poke about him and his hundreds of PR employees. Whit so many people that go over his speeches, that's really something to poke about, just that.

hehe guys sheesh. George Bush even has a sense of humor about his mishaps with words. We should all take a sit and just laugh sometimes. Its good old roasting and its funny.lol besides thats the point, to laugh and not be insulted. I mean some of these quotes are hilarious and I bet even Dan Quail and George W. Bush laugh about them, or feel like idiots.lol either way its funny.

I saw a talking Bush doll out now for $30. It says all kinds of lines, including what they called "bushisms" ....you know what that means :) But that's fine with me. He has a little bit of color in the way he says things. People in different parts of the U.S. do speak differently and even pronounce weird.......its a big country :)

but the things dan quayle said in tma's post are not mispelled or just incorrect pronounciation. they're just downright funny. this is especially my favorite:

Mars is essentially in the same orbit... Mars is somewhat the same distance from the Sun, which is very important. We have seen pictures where there are canals, we believe, and water. If there is water, that means there is oxygen. If oxygen, that means we can breathe.

and this:

Welcome to President Bush, Mrs. Bush, and my fellow astronauts.

they're probably out of context but it's always to make someone that is more important than yourself. lol. or maybe he was just a total idiot.

Well I can understand a slip-up like this:

"Rarely is the question asked: is our children learning"

--Florence, SC, Jan. 11, 2000

But how do you explain this:

"It's clearly a budget. It's got a lot of numbers in it."

--Reuters, May 5, 2000

But then there's the binnocular picture I posted and the one of him reading a book up-side-down, and I heard he couldn't even find Iraq on a map. I even saw him on TV during his campaign saying something to the effect of "I care deeply about Canadian relations. That's where Alaska is."

After the Clinton scandal I thought the Republicans would win in a landslide...but no. Most Americans realized what a blatant idiot he is. I mean, he could start a war against a country he can't even find on an unlabeled globe. To me it seems like Jebbie and Daddio pulled some strings in the Florida supreme court. I mean, Gore clearly won the popular vote...

Hey hey, funny stuff :)

That's why I don't like Bush >:( He was'nt really elected! He only won because of the flawed winner-takes-all system.

It does, most of the time. That's why most presidents aim to get their majority in states like Florida and California since they have more representatives.

In Canada we don't even vote for our prime minister. Or Premiers.

How then ?

Nominated by the UK Queen ? or by the house of representatives ?

We vote for who we would like to represent our area. Each person we can vote for belongs to a party. Whichever party gets the most seats forms the government. Whoever that party has selected as there leader becoems the Prime Minister.

Our queens selects a person who forms the government. Usually (nearly always) this person will form a government that has the majority in the parliament. Otherwise it couldn't pass any new laws.

well "popular vote" is not an issue really. We vote and then the electoral college, mixed with equal amounts of parties, votes based on what the people say. Remember, we are not a true democracy so the people's choice isnt always the right one. Al Gore is just very shallow. He has changed so many times to raise himself politically and publically. Sometimes the people are bad judges on who is best. The Media and other groups dont help much in our choices either with such bias attitudes involved in them.
