Science: Quayle on Mars

"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."
-- Vice President Dan Quayle, 8/11/89 (reported in Esquire, 8/92)

    Worse! He WAS the VP! A heartbeat away. If G.H.W. Bush had croaked, Quayloe would have become #1, and we woulda had a President like... like... well, like we got now!

    That is a very scary quote. I'm so glad he never got to be president.
