I havent seen Quayle's.... but a guy that works next to me has a whole calendar of "Bushisms". It is amazing what you can get someone to say when writing their speech for them! | ||

"You know, Paul (O'Niel), Reagan proved that deficits don't matter. We won the mid-term elections, this is our due." ~ USVP D. Cheney "I'm the commander - see, I don't need to explain - I don't need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being the President. Maybe somebody needs to explain to me why they say something, but I don't feel like I owe anybody an explanation." - George W. Bush, Washington Post, 11-19-02 "I learned the value of humor during the time of Stalinist terror. I could always recognize a person who was not a Stalinist, a person whom I needn't fear, by the way he smiled. A sense of humor was a trustworthy sign of recognition. Ever since, I have been terrified by a world that is losing its sense of humor." ~ Milan Kundera. "Permanent good can never be the outcome of untruth and violence." ~ Gandhi | ||

“I do not understand this squeamishness about the use of gas… I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes (to) spread a lively terror…” Winston Churchill, 1919, authorising RAF Middle East Command to use gas on Kurdish tribes. Shocked the hell outta me! (Message edited by oddbawl on February 09, 2005) | ||
