    They interviewed him Saturday I think on Fox. Either that, or they just read a statement by him concerning Reagan. I don't remember.

    There is TOO much material out there:

    "One word sums up probably the responsibility of any vice president, and that one word is 'to be prepared'." -- Vice President Dan Quayle 12/6/89

    "May our nation continue to be the beakon of hope to the world." -- The Quayles' 1989 Christmas card. [Not a beacon of literacy, though.]

    "Verbosity leads to unclear, inarticulate things." -- Vice President Dan Quayle 11/30/88

    "We don't want to go back to tomorrow, we want to go forward."

    "I have made good judgements in the Past. I have made good judgements in the Future."

    "The future will be better tomorrow."

    "We're going to have the best-educated American people in the world." -- Vice President Dan Quayle 9/21/88

    "I was recently on a tour of Latin America, and the only regret I have was that I didn't study Latin harder in school so I could converse with those people."

    "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." -- Vice President Dan Quayle 8/11/89

    "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." -- Vice President Dan Quayle 9/15/88



    "I believe we are on an irreversible trend toward more freedom and democracy--but that could change." -- Vice President Dan Quayle 5/22/89

    "People that are really very weird can get into sensitive positions and have a tremendous impact on history."

    "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 love California, I practically grew up in Phoenix."

    "A low voter turnout is an indication of fewer people going to the polls."

    "Illegitimacy is something we should talk about in terms of not having it." -- Vice President Dan Quayle, 5/20/92 (reported in Esquire, 8/92)

    "Murphy Brown is doing better than I am. At least she knows she still has a job next year." -- Vice President Dan Quayle, 8/18/92

    "We are ready for any unforeseen event that may or may not occur." -- Vice President Dan Quayle, 9/22/90

    "For NASA, space is still a high priority." -- Vice President Dan Quayle, 9/5/90

    "Quite frankly, teachers are the only profession that teach our children." -- Vice President Dan Quayle, 9/18/90

    "It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it."

    Okay, but this one sounds like a joke he made intentionally.

    It's actually a joke made up by someone else.
