(These will NOT show up on a quiz)
When pop star Britney Spears was asked what is the best part about being famous, she replied, "I get to go to lots of overseas places, like Canada." When you're a celebrity or politician, everything you say can be used against you later. If you're famous, innocent flubs that would otherwise be forgotten are quoted until your dying day.
Here is an assortment of some of those innocent flubs collected by Rinkworks.com:
"Outside of the killings, [Washington, D.C.] has one of the lowest crime rates in the country."
-- Marion Barry, Mayor of Washington, D.C.
"[I want to] make sure everybody who has a job wants a job."

"Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?"
-- George W. Bush
"I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family."

"Well, I think if you say you're going to do something and don't do it, that's trustworthiness."
