Poor Quayle! Thanks, Craig. I needed a laugh.

Recently, Dan Quayle announced his intentions to run for President of the U.S. in 2000. Since the average attention span in the U.S. is about as long as the average sitcom, and since many younger voters and y2k pro may not have been watching the news when these immortal soun bites were said the first time, we provide you with this list of famous Dan Quayle quotes.

Please spread these to as many people as you can, so that we might stop this lunacy before it gets out of hand. Thanks, and enjoy.

I was recently on a tour of Latin America, and the only regret I have was that I didnt study Latin harder in school so I could converse with those people.

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.

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.

Well Andy, it looks like we've found our common ground.

Common a, you KNOW we agree on LOTS of things er, um, banking, um, Flint, er, ahh, and banking :)

And you forgot this gem:

"Whenever someone brings up the possibility of our entire computer-based economy collapsing because of this year 2000 thing, it just makes me laugh. All Congress needs to do is instead of calling the year 2000 the year 2000, call it 1950. That way, we have another 50 years to solve the problem.

Well at least he didn't claim to be the father of the Internet!

"I did not have sexual relations with that woman....Miss Lewinski." -William Jefferson Blythe Clinton

"I don't think that - ...um I don't believe you'll find any evidence that my administration gave China that kind of technology." - William Jefferson Blythe Clinton

"The romance between Tipper and myself was the basis for that novel (Love Story)." - Albert Gore Jr. Vice President

"I was raised on a poor Tennesse farm....." - Albert Gore Jr. Vice President, who's father was a wealthy State Senator during his formative years.

The list could go on....

BLATANT LIES AND DECEPTIONS

NOT faux pas' or slips of tongue ---BIG DIFFERENCE.

Character DOES matter.

I'd trust Quayle over Clinton or Gore ANY MINUTE.

Even if he spells potato with an 'e'.

-- INVAR (gundark@sw.net), April 14, 1999.

Invar,

Amen!

-- (mybit@cyber.space), April 14, 1999.

Invar-

I'm with you big time on this one, buddy.

Quayle is an honest guy who makes sincere mistakes. How would you all fare with a mic stuck in your face all the time?

Clinton, on the other hand.....well, if you don't know by now, it's hopeless.

-- whomever (Vote@QuayleforPrez.net), April 14, 1999.

Thanks for the Quayle profundities. If he's president at least we'll have a lot of good laughs. Wouldn't have to worry about him women either; few women are that desperate.

-- gilda jessie (jess@listbot.com), April 14, 1999.

Gilda,

You are an abject disgrace to women and feminists everywhere.

As a matter of fact - you're just a plain disgrace.

But you like it that way.

-- INVAR (gundark@sw.net), April 14, 1999.

I don't know about that, gilda. I'd take Quayle any time. What's not to like? No sexual scandals in HIS past. A good family man with good family values.

Clinton....uggghhh! Can't even begin to imagine...maybe if he was the last man on Earth?

Ummmm...no. No way. Never.

-- Puleeze (Likin'Dan@betternbetter.net), April 14, 1999.

Gee INVAR...I would have thought that a conspiratorial scholar such as yourself would have recognized that Quayle and Clinton (and Bush, and Reagan...) were all cut from the same cloth. Or do you only subscribe to theories don't implicate Republicans?

-- a (a@a.a), April 14, 1999.

Thanks Andy and....

Leave Gilda alone on this thread, Quayle is a joke. He is the only guy I know that takes 90 minutes to watch "Sixty Minutes".

-- BB (peace2u@bellatlantic.net), April 14, 1999.

LOL! Andy tx for the Quayle Quotes!

-- Jon (jonmiles@pacbell.net), April 14, 1999.

a--,

Cut from the same cloth?????

You're an imbecile. They're not even from the same political universe.

Quayle's not a pathological liar, a rapist, a perjurer or a traitor.

I doubt he'd sell-out the country for campaign bucks. I doubt he'd bomb an asprin factory to get grand jury testimony off the front pages. I doubt he'd bomb a sovereign country to get espionage scandals and hearings buried in the news. I doubt he'd cover up an AIDS tainted blood scandal, invite KNOWN drug dealers to the White House, accept money from a Chineese arms dealer, appoint a criminal for Attorney General...etc....etc.

And I highly doubt he'd blame any infidelity on a "Left-Wing Conspiracy".

At this point I'd take Dukkakis for president over your king and his court.

-- INVAR (gundark@sw.net), April 14, 1999.

Did you say "appoint a criminal for Attorney General"? INVAR! Bite your tongue! You must have been thinking of Reagan's AG Edwin "Hand-in-the-Cookie Jar" Meese. You see, he was actually indicted...something we do in this country, because you see, we are innocent until proven guilty. But you seem to want to be judge jury and executioner...what happened to your love of the Constitution?

-- a (a@a.a), April 15, 1999.

Well --a, there you go again...

Meese was INDICTED -- not CONVICTED as Webster Hubbel was.

Remember him?

S&L fraud?

He was FOUND GUILTY by a jury.

Something the Constitution provides for...the Law. Something your king has no regard for.

-- INVAR (gundark@sw.net), April 15, 1999.

I'd take Gilda for President over Quayle any time. Which does NOT mean that I like Clinton--on the contrary. If I had to choose between Quayle and Clinton? Oh, please don't let me have to make that choice!

-- Old Git (anon@spamproblems.com), April 15, 1999.

Since I don't like bashing people, I almost feel guilty about posting this, but guess what the newest GOP candidate had to say on "The Today Show" this morning?

In the middle of a pretty intelligent interview comes this line:

"The American people want to believe in . . .themselves."
