March Matchups: Battle of the Stupid & Humorous Quotes

We continue on with March Matchups and a real jim-dandy of a contest here at the Big Dick Dudley Memorial Coliseum. We've all said things that perhaps came out the wrong way or were just flat out dumb. But these folks are in the public eye and so their vocal flatulence remains on the books for all to see and these days courtesy of YouTube, can be heard as well. So away we go:

"I love California, I practically grew up in Phoenix." - Dan Quayle, former U.S. Vice President.

"You know the one thing that's wrong with this country? Everyone gets a chance to have their fair say." - Bill Clinton, former U.S. President.

“There’s an old saying in Tennessee — I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can’t get fooled again.” —Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 17, 2002.

"I would say that anything that is indecent and violent in TV is a crime against humanity and they should shoot the head man responsible." - Ted Turner, Media Mogul.

"I think that the film Clueless was very deep. I think it was deep in the way that it was very light. I think lightness has to come from a very deep place if it's true lightness." - Alicia Silverstone, Actress.

"We are unable to announce the weather. We depend on weather reports from the airport, which is closed, due to weather. Whether we will be able to give you a weather report tomorrow will depend on the weather." - Arab News report.

"If somebody has a bad heart, they can plug this jack in at night as they go to bed and it will monitor their heart throughout the night. And the next morning, when they wake up dead, there'll be a record." - Mark S. Fowler, FCC Chairman.

"A 'No Parking' sign at a certain location means..." - multiple choice question on NY State learner's permit test.

"Any person who shall lead or drive a bear upon any highway shall be fined not more than $50." - Connecticut General Statutes, Section 6215.

The winner of this bout goes to Mark S. Fowler, FCC Chairman. You sound like a really up-beat sort of chap! Congratulations Mark!

Incidentally, I compiled these from various Websites, particularly, amusingquotes.com.
