(FYI, in the first part he's talking about the holocaust.)

Here are some other Quayle classics...

"If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure."

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

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

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

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"The future will be better tomorrow."

"We're going to have the best-educated American people in the world."

"People that are really very weird can get into sensitive positions and have a tremendous impact on history."

"We have a firm commitment to NATO, we are a part of NATO. We have a firm commitment to Europe. We are a part of Europe."

"I am not part of the problem. I am a Republican."

"I love California, I practically grew up in Phoenix."

"A low voter turnout is an indication of fewer people going to the polls."

"When I have been asked during these last weeks who caused the riots and the killing in L.A., my answer has been direct and simple: Who is to blame for the riots? The rioters are to blame. Who is to blame for the killings? The killers are to blame."

"Illegitimacy is something we should talk about in terms of not having it."

"We are ready for any unforeseen event that may or may not occur."

"For NASA, space is still a high priority."

"Quite frankly, teachers are the only profession that teach our children."

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

"[It's] time for the human race to enter the solar system."

"Verbosity leads to unclear, inarticulate things."

"I stand by all the misstatements that I've made."

More Quayle lunacy...

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

A Quayle - GWB debate would be interesting - not sure who would win, but it would definitely be a race to the bottom.

It would probably depend on whether GWB was on the sauce that day or not.

Is there any such case or moronic/dumb behavior from democratic presidents and vice-presidents? I'm asking... I really don't know.

Bush and Quayle... Has there ever been a worse ticket in the history of political systems on earth??
why quayle didn't resign after the potato incedent is beyond me... at least Clinton could spell blow job.

how the hell did people like him get up so high above the political tree? I guess we shoulda paid more attention to all those 'states with very little house of representatives' elections.

There are two problems with the spelling example - the card that was given to Quayle had potato spelled with an "e" and "potatoe" is a legitimate and valid spelling of the word.

@TerraKhan: "Potatoes" is valid, yes (as in, plural) "potatoe" is not...

Actually - "potatoe" is a valid spelling for "potato" although archaic and very rarely used these days. I do a lot of editing on older literature and see this spelling rather frequently. Just FYI.
