I'm no fan of Mariah Carey, or Marion Barry, or Dan Quayle--just a little skeptical about what gets passed around the internet. (And Linda did get one of my favorite Dan Quayle quotes!) -- "Linda M.

Hi Tipsters, Thanks to Mike Scoles for the following site information. And I apologize for maligning Ms. Mariah Carey with a quote that apparently has its source in a parody. > > http://host20.bluehill.com/snopes/quotes/quotes.htm#carey > However, it is nice to note that all of the following quotes are indeed verifiable Dan Quayle lapses of language: "If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure." "Republicans understand the importance of bondage between a mother and child." "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." "What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is." "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." "I believe we are on an irreversible trend toward more freedom and democracy - but that could change." "One word sums up probably the responsibility of any vice president, and that one word is 'to be prepared.'" "Verbosity leads to unclear, inarticulate things." "I have made good judgments in the past. I have made good judgments in the future." "The future will be better tomorrow." "We're going to have the best-educated American people in the world." "People that are really very weird can get into sensitive positions and have a tremendous impact on history." "I stand by all the misstatements that I've made." "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." "I am not part of the problem. I am a Republican." "I love California, I practically grew up in Phoenix." "A low voter turnout is an indication of fewer people going to the polls." "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." "Illegitimacy is something we should talk about in terms of not having it." "We are ready for any unforeseen event that may or may not occur." "For NASA, space is still a high priority." "Quite frankly, teachers are the only profession that teach our children." "It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it." "[It's] time for the human race to enter the solar system." -- linda m. woolf, ph.d. associate professor - psychology webster university main web page: http://www.webster.edu/~woolflm/ Holocaust and Genocide studies pages: http://www.webster.edu/~woolflm/holocaust.html women's pages: http://www.webster.edu/~woolflm/women.html gerontology pages: http://www.webster.edu/~woolflm/gero.html mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] "Outside of a dog, a book is a man's (and woman's) best friend. . . .
