And to think, jacfan, we Americans had to live through four years of that moronic idiot, Quayle(remember his spelling lesson on how to spell potato, i.e. "potatoe"

), only to end up with bigger dolts like Clinton and the current Bush. Speaking of Texas's village idiot, here's a nice gem of a quote.......

"If you say ?good morning? over there and it?s five past 12, you end up with a lawsuit. "

"We have never got any sponsors out there.

"The television has never taken off; we have more viewers in Malta than over there."

"If they want to continue having a round of the Formula 1 World Championship over there, I am happy to talk to them, which is what I will do when I get there,"

"But I am not prepared to subsidise a race in America."

Do these count as dumb quotes?
