A few words of wisdom from some well known people
"It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it." -- Al Gore

"We've got to pause and ask ourselves:
Just how much clean air do we really need?" --
Lee Iacocca

"I was provided with additional input that was radically different from the truth. I assisted in furthering that version." -- Colonel Oliver North, from his Iran-Contra testimony.

"If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure."
-- Bill Clinton, President

"Your food stamps will be stopped effective March 1992 because we received notice that you passed away. May God bless you. You may reapply if there is a change in your circumstances." -- Department of Social Services, Greenville, South Carolina

" It's no exaggeration to say that the undecideds could go one way or another" --
George Bush, US President

"I love California. I practically grew up in Phoenix." --
Dan Quayle

quotes are incorrectly attributed.

The first is actually another Quayle quote, not Gore, as is the quote attributed to Clinton.

5. No need to apologize.
Just have a little fun, hit reply all, and send the correction.

I do it all the time.

7. Thanks for the link but not one of these quotes were listed on that site.
I know Bush* has said some goofy things but not one of these quotes could be found. They do sound like him though.
