Dan Quayle:
"Add one little bit on the end... Think of 'potato', how's it spelled? You're right phonetically, but what else...? There ya' go... all right!" --"correcting" a student's correct spelling of the word "potato" during a spelling bee at an elementary school (he told the student to add an "e" at the end)
"It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it."
"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."
"One word sums up probably the responsibility of any vice president, and that one word is 'to be prepared.'"
Joe Biden:
"Look, John's last-minute economic plan does nothing to tackle the number-one job facing the middle class, and it happens to be, as Barack says, a three-letter word: jobs. J-O-B-S, jobs."
"A man I'm proud to call my friend. A man who will be the next President of the United States — Barack America!"
"You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.... I'm not joking."
I'm going to have to give the edge to Dan on this vote, but I have to admit, it was closer than I expected!
