'Ok, even I know that this is an old Dan Quayle quote, and I'm from fucking Denmark! Maybe this stupid thread should stop now....' 'sorry to bust ya..while I don't keep a compendium of that every politician has said, I swear that I remember former VP Quayle saying the SAME thing while on a very embarrassing tour there.' and you guys are just making my point, so thank you for 'busting me.' that point would be, by the way, that we can't just accept these media-created 'fatal flaws,' incidents from the past that may or may not have occured, and even quotes that may or may not be accurate (or even attributed to the right politician--as pointed out) as an indication of what these guys are all about. i'm just saying, hate them if you want, but don't maintain vacuous political views shaped by idiots. and i don't know where those quotes originiated--everytime they're sent to me or i see them on a site or in print, the latin america one is attributed to gore. i don't really care because these aren't the sorts of thing i look to to develop my opinion of politicians.
