But you'll feel *even smarter* if you check a few of
them out on the Web.

As it happens, the "quotes" from Al Gore below are
actually quotes from Dan Quayle ("pollution") and
George W. Bush ("unforseen event").
During the 2004 campaign, there were a bunch of
viral emails floating around that simply took the
similar emails with quotes from Bush and Quayle
that had circulated earlier and attributed them to
Gore.
And the "quote" from Mariah Carey came from a parody
interview in some magazine. She never said it.
The "quote" from to Bill Clinton is of uncertain origin,
but it's often attributed to Quayle. It certainly
wasn't anything Clinton ever said.
Some of the rest of them may be accurate, especially
those from lesser-known people.
