Peter Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 "It depends on what the meaning of the words 'is' is." 395737[/snapback] The Karl Rove equivalent: "I didn't know her name, and didn't not leak her name." Other ridiculous ones from others: "I am against nation building." "I did not have sex with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky." "I have denied having an affair with Gennifer Flowers, and so has she." "I did not chop down the cherry tree." "Poland is not part of the Eastern block." (or words to that effect) "Iraqi oil revenue will pay for rebuilding Iraq." Some of the best statements: "Tear down this wall Mr. Gorbachev." "I would compare Congress to a bunch of drunken sailors, but that would be unfair to the drunken sailors." "We do not have a trillion dollar deficit because we tax too much. We have a trillion dollar deficit because we spend too much." "We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them -- this morning, as they prepared for their journey, and waved good-bye, and slipped the surly bonds of earth to touch the face of God." "How do you tell a Communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin." "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." And perhaps the best political statement: "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

meazza Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 my favorite one the gomery scandal, a scandal that was 400 million dollars given to companies to help promote tourism in canada the politicians made fake receipts and sh-- so they would double charge work and basically the taxpayer got screwed during the trial of all the people involved, there was an issue of about 1 million dollars that had been charged to taxpayers that was just missing the defendents response " I dont remember this, it was too long ago" basically these guys walked away with all canadian taxpayers money and even in the trial lied their asses off and nothing was done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is in the Pacific. It is a part of the United States that is an island that is right here." "What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is." "You all look like happy campers to me. Happy campers you are, happy campers you have been, and, as far as I am concerned, happy campers you will always be." "El Salvador is a democracy so it's not surprising that there are many voices to be heard here. Yet in my conversations with Salvadorans, I have heard a single voice." "I believe we are on an irreversible trend toward more freedom and democracy -- but that could change." "If we do not succeed, then we run the risk of failure." "Verbosity leads to unclear, inarticulate things." "I have made good judgments in the past. I have made good judgments in the future." "We're going to have the best-educated American people in the world." "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." "My friends, no matter how rough the road may be, we can and we will, never, never surrender to what is right." "I deserve respect for the things I did not do." "I feel that this is my first year, that next year is an election year, that the third year is the mid point, and that the fourth year is the last chance I'll have to make a record since the last two years; I'll be a candidate again. Everything I do in those last two years will be posturing for the election. But right now I don't have to do that." "This President is going to lead us out of this recovery." "We are ready for any unforeseen event that may or may not occur." "For NASA, space is still a high priority." "[The U.S. victory in Gulf War was a] stirring victory for the forces of aggression."

"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 there is oxygen, then we can breathe." "The future will be better tomorrow." "People that are really very weird can get into sensitive positions and have tremendous impact on history." "Illegitimacy is something we should talk about in terms of not having it." "We're all capable of mistakes, but I do not care to enlighten you on the mistakes we may or may not have made." "One word sums up probably the responsibility of any Vice President, and that one word is 'to be prepared.'" "Let me just tell you how thrilling it really is, and how, what a challenge it is, because in 1988 the question is whether we're going forward to tomorrow or whether we're going to go past to the -- to the back!" "The loss of life will be irreplaceable." "Bobby Knight told me this: 'There is nothing that a good defense cannot beat a better offense.' In other words a good offense wins." "It's wonderful to be here in the great state of Chicago." "This isn't a man who is leaving with his head between his legs." "Unfortunately, the people of Louisiana are not racists." "We lead in exporting jobs." -- Committing a Freudian slip while speaking to the Chamber of Commerce of Evansville, Indiana, a city which lost four large companies in the previous four years. He quickly changed the word 'jobs' to 'products.' "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." "We don't want to go back to tomorrow, we want to go forward." "Votes are like trees, if you are trying to build a forest. If you have more trees than you have forests, then at that point the pollsters will probably say you will win." "[it's] time for the human race to enter the solar system." "Clinton cannot possibly win in 2000." -- Referring to Bill Clinton, who had already served two terms as President by 2000. "The American people would not want to know of any misquotes that Dan Quayle may or may not make." "Every once in a while, you let a word or phrase out, and you want to catch it and bring it back.
