Marion Barry Or Dan Quayle?
Thursday, March 18, 2010 at 10:37AM You have to love these two guys. Marion Barry made some of the dumbest comments in the history of public life, and though I love his politics, Dan Qualye was right there with him. Based on that, I thought it would be fun to play a new game called Marion Barry or Dan Quayle?
Which master politician uttered this touch of brilliance?
"What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is."

Dan Quayle said it.

Now that's a tough one. An idiotic comment on so many levels. I think it was Quayle.
This is hilariious Pundit. It's got to be Marion Barry. Sounds like he was trying to say the old NAACP line - a mind is a terrible thing to waste. That said, it is terrible to lose one's mind... or not have a mind at all! Too good.
Got to be Marion "Bitch Set Me Up" Barry.
It's Quayle. If Barry said it, the last line would have been "tru dat".
Got to be Marion Barry. Quayle made some dumb statements, but that seems to have a Marion Barry air of stupidity to it.
Very tough question, but I seem to remember Quayle saying something like that.
I was thinking Biden, but have to go with "crack" Barry.
Crackhead said it. I'm confident.
Quayle isn't the sharpest pencil in the box, but I think that the quote must be attributed to Marion Barry.
Good one Pundit. I'm going with Barry on this one. When in doubt, go with the liberal idiot.
It was Quayle. Sad but true.
You would expect something like this from Joe Six Pack, not so. it came from the mouth
of Danny boy Quayle...To top it off, he can't spell sh**t either......
I find it hysterical that a "Conservative" site would be trying to re-pin this quote onto Marion Barry. Even more hysterical that conservative posters would actually opine that Barry was the source of the quote. (Never mind that Dan Quayle was actually recorded saying this - and saying a lot more total piffle.) Well, every self-justifying political movement in history - be it imperial Rome, the Third Reich, Soviet Communism or Maoism - has had its revisionist "historians". After all, why face the truth when we can make up a much more comfortable and self-glorifying lie.
The tinkle-down theory seems to operate in the realm of intelligence also.
Hey Jordan, you're not very smart are you? I didn't try to "pin" it on Marion Barry, I listed Dan Quayle as the person who said it. Apparently you're not bright enough to understand that I'm taking a shot at Marion Barry AND Dan Quayle in this game.
Liberals are so dense.
