This date in 1947 was the birthdate of Dan (James Danforth) Quayle, famous for his misquotes. Here are ten
of them:
- I believe we are on an irreversible trend toward more freedom and democracy - but that could change.
- I have made good judgments in the Past. I have made good judgments in the future.
- Republicans have been accused of abandoning the poor. It's the other way around. They never vote for us.
- The global importance of the Middle East is that it keeps the Far East and the Near East from encroaching on each other.
- It's time for the human race to enter the solar system.
- I understand the importance of bondage between parent and child.
- If we don't succeed we run the risk of failure.
- It's wonderful to be here in the great state of Chicago.
- It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it.
- We're going to have the best-educated American people in the world.
To
redress the balance a little, here are a couple of bonus quotes to
show that sometimes, Dan Quayle did talk sense:
- People that are really very weird can get into sensitive positions and have a tremendous impact on history.
- We have to do more than just elect a new President if we truly want to change this country.
