3. These don't all sound like Bush*isms...
Aren't some of them Quayle and Reagan gaffes? None of them, to my knowledge, is a Kerry gaffe.

These turds can't even come up with anything original -- they just copy stupid sh*t their 'heroes' have said and attribute it to the current Dem candidate. This same list, or one much like it, went around in 2000 with all the quotes attributed to Al Gore.

4. snopes has something on this
See http://www.snopes.com/quotes/candidate.asp

All of the statements evidently were said by Quayle, except one, which was said by George W.

6. Here ya go..
Comments: If some of these nitwitticisms seem familiar, it's not because you've ever heard Senator John F. Kerry utter them. With the sole exception of the first example, which is a close paraphrase of something President G.W. Bush actually said in 2000, proper credit for the majority of the regrettable statements on this list goes to former Vice-President Dan Quayle (see sources below).

Give or take a few individual quotations, the same list has circulated continuously since 1999, with the statements attributed variously to J. Danforth Quayle, President G.W. Bush, Vice-President Al Gore, and now presidential candidate John Kerry.

Spotting Dan Quayle quotes are easy. They're the ones that seem self defeating and utterly moronic in a completely mindless kind of way.

Bush quotes are like Quayle quotes, except they have "swagger".

Rummy's quotes are like Yogi Bera, except they're more rhetorical.

8. If you haven't replied yet
Make sure to put "I think the man who says this should never be a president!" in the subject and then give them the information.

Reel them in with the subject!

Hahaha
