I'll start this thread with an excellent quote from Edward R. Murrow:
"It is not necessary to remind you that the fact that your voice is amplified to the degree where it reaches from one end of the country to the other does not confer upon you greater wisdom or understanding than you possessed when your voice reached only from one end of the bar to the other."
I'm inspired to start this thread after the recent "your favorite quote" thread. So without further ado, the worst, lame-brained quotes that ever made you blow milk out of your nose:
"For NASA, space is still a high priority."
- Dan Quayle, 9/5/90
"I promise you I will listen to what has been said here, even though I wasn't here."
- George W. Bush, at the President's Economic Forum in Waco, Texas, Aug. 13, 2002
"Smoking kills. If you're killed, you've lost a very important part of your life."
- Brooke Shields, during an interview to become spokesperson for a federal anti-smoking campaign
"The internet is a great way to get on the net."
- Bob Dole, Republican presidential candidate
