• Answer 1

Quote 2

CARL: "There are two sides to every story; there are certainly two sides to this story... There will be an appropriate time and forum when that can be explained."

That was somebody promising that some time, soon, we'd learn the other side of his story. The side we already know about involves him stuffing $90,000 in bribe money into his freezer. So, who's going to reveal, really, as soon as he can, the innocent explanation for all of this?

Quote 3

Carl: "That was really uncalled for, senator."

That was Dan Quayle, responding to what remains the greatest single verbal smackdown in modern politics, during the 1988 vice presidential debate. The man who made Quayle whimper died this week at the age of 85. Who was it?
