Hall of Shame: Earl Landgrebe

“Don’t confuse me with the facts.  I’ve got a closed mind.”

Astoundingly, he made yet another legendary statement. Explaining why he voted against giving money to cancer research, Landgrebe said:


Discovering a cure for cancer will only change which way you’re going to [die].”
