What do you think is the most unintentionally funny quote from a politician?

My choice:

Mitt Romney said, ""I believe in an America where millions of Americans believe in an America that's the America millions of Americans believe in. That's the America I love."

WTF? :lol:

Link for those who don't believe me.

Probably not the dumbest but it's the first one that comes to mind.

Because I'm feeling all space-y:

"We have a firm commitment to NATO, we are apartof NATO. We have a firm commitment to Europe. We are apartof Europe."-Dan Quayle

"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."-Dan Quayle

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

"Public speaking is very easy."-Dan Quayle

"I stand by all the misstatements that I've made."-Dan Quayle

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

Dan Quayle>>>>>>>>>>Bush and Palin combined. I'd vote for that guy in a second. Quayle/Bachmann 2012! It's not too late!

I feel like presidents intentionally pick stupid VPs to avoid getting assassinated. McCain's problem is that Palin's stupidity was too high profile.

Omg, I am rolling laughing right now. Those quotes really are hilarious.

"I am severely conservative."-Mitt Romney

I was like :lol: what?! Severe has a negative connotation.

My favorite from Dan:

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

-Dan Quayle

In retrospect, this whole speech. Sorry Dubya but it wasn't accomplished just yet. :(

"we do not want the nuke to invade anyone,we just want to wipe israel out." ayatollah hassani.

this is the guy who made that quote.lolz

EDIT: another quote by hassani: "unveiled women are like buses, anybody can come and take a ride on them. Those who cover their hair with scarves and wear long dresses are like taxis, they give ride to many people of their choosing. Fully veiled women, however, such as my own wife, are like donkeys, they give ride only to their owners."

That's damn good. And those Dan Quayle quotes are just fantastic. Here's one that isn't funny at all, written, you have to hear the way he exclaims it, for some reason. Good ol Dubya. "You may recall, we went to a park in Botswana!"

The thread title instantly reminded me of the time I cried myself laughing to Quayle quotes.

Dude is amazing.

"You don't have to pass an IQ test to be in the Senate."

Talk about a trainwreck of a campaign.

"Ten movies streaming across that Internet, and what happens to your own personal Internet? Just the other day, I got an Internet sent by my staff at 10:00 in the morning on Friday. I got it yesterday (Tuesday). Why? Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the Internet commercially. They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the Internet. And again, the Internet is not something that you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes."

- Senator Ted Stevens

That quote is so stupid it makes my head hurt.

"But we have to pass the bill, so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy."
