Remarkably, These Are Not Misprints

Politicians and idiocy go together, as proven by these dumb statements made by a few well-known individuals:

“This is a big f…ing deal!”
Current Vice-President Joe Biden’s overheard whispered encouragement to the Prez prior to a recent news conference following passage of the health reform bill

“It’s white.”
Former President George W. Bush, after being asked to describe the White House

“It all depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is.”
Former President Bill Clinton to a grand jury during the infamous “Monicagate” scandal

“I was on medication when I made the decision to burn the tapes.”
Former President Richard Nixon explaining what were assessed to be shady actions on his part and that eventually led to his having to resign from office

“It’s time for the human race to enter the solar system.”
Ex-Vice President Dan Quayle, a master of dim-witted musings

“We are going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good.”
Current Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, during her 2008 Presidential campaign, not exactly dispelling the suspicion of voters that she had some kind of secret socialist agenda

“They are also building schools for the Afghan children so that there is hope and opportunity in our neighboring country of Afghanistan.”
Sarah Palin, former Vice-President candidate and President wannabe, who evidently has a different map than everybody else
