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.

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."
