Welcome to President Bush, Mrs. Bush, and my fellow astronauts! Former Vice President Dan Quayle, whom I have not thought about since I found my childhood copy of " Where's Dan Quayle " at my parent's house over Christmas, is BACK. And guess who he loves sooooooo much? It is presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump!
Now that you've gotten half of the story, maybe you could ask "What's the Woodshed?" Someone at TBR should be able to give you the link. If not, feel free to ask me and I'll provide it. ;)
Exactly what dumb things did he say. Or, does he just have a different opinion from you, and that makes him stupid? Is it bc he didn't know how to spell the plural of potato? Well, that would be at least comparable to Obama not knowing how to pronounce corpseman? I mean really, to this day I laugh when I think that any adult, esecial the POTUS doesn't know enough about the military to know it's core-man.
The president mispronounced A Word. I grant you that. People, even well read people, will sometimes mispronounce words they have only seen in print but never heard. But go ahead, celebrate the president's malaprop. Now, let's move on to Dan Quayle, and some of the truly dumb things he said, which are dumb, regardless of my opinion. He is, you might say, dumb by acclamation. 1) "Welcome to President Bush, Mrs. Bush, and my fellow astronauts." 2) "What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is." 3) "If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure." 4) "Republicans understand the importance of bondage between a mother and child." 5) "One word sums up probably the responsibility of any vice president, and that one word is 'to be prepared.' " 6) "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." 7) "I believe we are on an irreversible trend toward more freedom and democracy -- but that could change." 8) "I have made good judgments in the past. I have made good judgments in the future." 9) "We're going to have the best-educated American people in the world." 10) "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." 11) "I love California, I practically grew up in Phoenix." 12) "It's wonderful to be here in the great state of Chicago." 13) "A low voter turnout is an indication of fewer people going to the polls." 14) "We are ready for any unforeseen event that may or may not occur." 15) "It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it." 16) "We are leaders of the world of the space program. We have been the leaders of the world of our... of the space program and we're not going to continue where we're going to go, not withstanding the Soviet Union's demise and collapse - the former Soviet Union - we now have independent republics which used to be called the Soviet Union. Space is the next frontier to be explored. And we're going to explore. Think of all the things we rely upon in space today: communications from... Japan, detection of potential ballistic missile attacks. Ballistic missiles are still here. Other nations do have ballistic missiles. How do you think we were able to detect some of the Scud missiles and things like that? Space, reconnaissance, weather, communications - you name it. We use space a lot today." 17) "Verbosity leads to unclear, inarticulate things." 18) "I stand by all the misstatements that I've made."<<<I could go on, but I believe I have sufficiently buttressed my point.
What in God's name is wrong with you? Do you not have a job/family that you need to spend time with, or do you just research what ridiculous comments someone made, how many years ago? And, btw, who won that election in which he was running for VP? How long did it take you to research all of these quotes? My, God! Do you really think I couldn't come up with as many examples of Obama doing/saying comparably bad things? I just don't have the time to do so, as I have a job/family that keeps me too busy to bother.
Nothing is wrong with me, in God's name. You are the one who took issue, strangely, with a comment I made five months ago, and made a ridiculous false equivalency. What in God's name is wrong with you? I simply typed "Quayle dumb quotes" into google and they popped right up, because he is notorious for saying dumb things. So, total research time, five seconds. And I am confident that you cannot come up with as many examples of our president saying anything remotely as dumb as the ones I listed there. Go ahead, try. You're the one who wandered into our little snark mob and issued a challenge. But I see you are going to make the excuse that you simply don't have time to research our president's supposed dumb quotes because you have a job/family. Yet you have bothered quite a bit here already, Lily, so I'm calling bullshit. You know you can't do it.
Right. And let's not forget -- WND and Redstate are dying for this kind of irrepressible wit, too!
Best laugh I've had all day! Brother Berkeley -- good to have you back!
Win!
But sadly, despite that haymaker, Bentsen et al still lost the election.
Not a chance--Sarah Palin has turned in some excellent half-marathon running times for an amateur runner. Quayle has never done anything at all.
Thanks. And right back ahead of you!
Maybe they'll go into the Witless Protection Program....
... you're looking at things logically. That's your problem, right there.
Conspiracy, the False Wonkette.
You may have a point. Sarah Palin seems quite experienced at doing things halfway. A half-marathon would be right up her alley.
Hah! Very good. 100 points for you.
