    Awesome Quotes from Dan Quayle.

    I know it doesnt sound to funny to quote a vice president, but the guy was renowned for his ability to make a fool of himself, and after reading some of these myself, I was just bursting out laugh.
    take a look.

    A low voter turnout is an indication of fewer people going to the polls.
    For NASA, space is still a high priority.
    I believe we are on an irreversible trend toward more freedom and democracy - but that could change.
    I deserve respect for the things I did not do.
    I have made good judgments in the past. I have made good judgments in the future.
    I love California, I practically grew up in Phoenix.
    I stand by all the misstatements that I've made.
    If we don't succeed we run the risk of failure.
    It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it.
    Quite frankly, teachers are the only profession that teach our children.
    Republicans have been accused of abandoning the poor. It's the other way around. They never vote for us.
    The future will be better tomorrow.
    (this is the one that just had me rolling)

    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.
    Tobacco exports should be expanded aggressively because Americans are smoking less.
    Unfortunately, the people of Louisiana are not racists.

    I really didnt know dan quayle growing up, I was a little kid, and I knew he was considerd dumb, but till I looked him up on google, I never really knew just how far it went.
    this guy was a absolute gold mine for idiotic tendencies. the quote sites have hundreds of them from him, and its no surprise why he seems to have kinda vanished from history and no one talks about him.

    I tried to look up george bush too, and while he said a incredible amount of purely dumb things, it just comes across as a real low IQ and lack of understanding of topics - much like sarah palin.
    hes easy to quote, but not much in the way of funny stuff.

    Quayle was not a particularly polished extemporaneous speaker, but (like many public figures) many of his "quotes" have taken on a life of their own and have become "real" without his ever uttering them.
    The plural of "anecdote" is not "data."

    His handlers should've stuck an earpiece in him feeding him two words at a time and taught him read a teleprompter like our current buffoons in the white house.

    if so, he would have said the following...
