If there is any politician that can top W, its Quale:
My friends, no matter how rough the road may be, we can and we will never, never surrender to what is right.

A low voter turnout is an indication of fewer people going to the polls.
-- Vice President Dan Quayle
If you give a person a fish, they'll fish for a day. But if you train a person to fish, they'll fish for a lifetime.
-- Vice President Dan Quayle
Verbosity leads to unclear, inarticulate things.
-- Senator Dan Quayle
Every once in a while, you let a word or phrase out and you want to catch it and bring it back. You can't do that. It's gone, gone forever.
-- Vice President Dan Quayle
I happen to be a Republican president -- ah, the vice president.
-- Vice President Dan Quayle
Add one little bit on the end... Think of `potatoe', how's it spelled? You're right phonetically, but what else...? There ya go... all right!
-- Vice President Dan Quayle correcting a student's correct spelling of the word `potato' during a spelling bee at an elementary school in Trenton.
I should have caught the mistake on that spelling bee card. But as Mark Twain once said, `You should never trust a man who has only one way to spell a word'.
-- Vice President Dan Quayle, actually quoting from President Andrew Jackson.
I should have remembered that was Andrew Jackson who said that, since he got his nickname `Stonewall' by vetoing bills passed by Congress.
-- Vice President Dan Quayle, confusing Andrew Jackson with Confederate General Thomas J. `Stonewall' Jackson, who actually got his nickname at the first Battle of Bull Run.
And it goes on and on..

I certainly won't go out and say that Bush is a good public speaker (in fact I think they should tack on another billion or so to the budget to buy the man a good speech-coach), but nuclear has three accepted pronunciations in the English language:
Pronunciation: 'nü-klE-&r, 'nyü-, ÷-ky&-l&r
Pronunciation: 'nü-klE-&r, 'nyü-, ÷-ky&-l&r
And, finally, we repealed the death tax. Now -- but because of a quirk in the law, that repeal isn't permanent. It's hard for me to explain why. They repeal it, but didn't repeal it.

No, it's new-clear. I'm really not pedantic about many things, but pronouncing the word new-cue-lure drives me nuts.

Well, all the phonetic symbols supplied above say is that it can be pronounced either "newclear" or "nooclear", not "nucular".
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
Quote:
"They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." -- President BUSH, referring to al Qaeda, in remarks at today's bill signing.
Gotta admire his persistence, even if it is misguided.

I'll take your word for it. I never learned to read phonetically, dyslexia and all.

I doubt it's a real Bush-ism, but 4 years ago when SNL spoofed the Bush/Gore election, "Bush" was rebutting "Gore" and his one word answer cracked me up: "Strategery."

Actually I think that is a genuine Bushism.
