Dan Quayle's panties in a wad

[BOSSHOG]

Dan went to a John Mellencamp concert and when John said he was dedicating a song to those hurt by bush administration policies, ole Dan got up and left.

http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/sports/15049856.htm

Dan said through a publicist that "Mellencamp's performance was not very well to begin with"

Me thinks lil dan has a complex because he knows Mellencamp is much more popular in homestate Indiana than lil danny. And besides if anyone has been hurt by bush policies its their own damn fault, fuck em.

BTW, John Mellencamp is my number one song choice on Kareoke Night - I WAS BORN IN A SMALL TOWN ---- let the caterwauling begin.

1. "Not very well," was it? nt

[Toots]

6. I caught that also but coming from Quale I am not in the least surprised

:shrug: I cringe for our country.

[MidwestTransplant]

13. Doesn't "Well" have an E on the end? "Welle"

:)

[Drum]

25. .

;)

[aein]

32. it's a misquote, check the article n/t

[Drum]

33. D'Oh! I stand corrected!

based my reply on the mat'l in the OP. :(

Fess up, BOSSHOG, just thinking of Quayle messes with your grammar....

Thx aein. ;)

[JuniperLea]

2. I'm surprised Danny had the wherewithal

to be insulted.

The personal affront to Mellencamp's performance cracks me up! That's all he's got, eh? What a maroon.

3. Dan Who??? Dan Quayle???

Isn't he the guy down at the bowling alley who cleans the shoes??

[LiberalEsto]

4. Bet he can't spell "Mellencamp" nt

[Benhurst]

8. I'll bet he cain't spell "John". NT

[Virginia Dare]

5. What rock has potato-head been hiding under?

Mellencamp has been very vocal about his dislike for Bush.

:dunce:

[Benhurst]

9. Shouldn't that be "Potatoe"- head? NT

:rofl:

[pstokely]

24. The original Moran

[OzarkDem]

30. My first reaction, too

Mellencamp has been very vocal, especially during the 2004 election cycle. What kind of world does Quayle live in, anyway? He must watch only FAUX News 24/7.

[acmavm]

7. Is Mr. Quayle stupid enough to really think any one cares?

[fearthem]

10. AND the Republican Party is full of the likes of him -- the illiterate.

[pepperbear]

11. Ever wonder how anyone even found out about it?

...which tells me that homeslice was on a cell phone to his publicist within 5 minutes, because noone would have been aware otherwise, and John's folks certainly didn't call anyone.

"I totally dissed John Mellencamp. Can we get that on the 5:00?"

That's our Dan! negative publicity whore.

[txwhitedove]

12. Of course he was upset and had to leave. It is becoming more

and more downright embarrassing for any Republican to show
their face in public, let alone answer any questions about
Bush and Administration agenda.

Bravo, keep up the good work Dems and DU!!!

[zulchzulu]

14. Dan was probably a narc, so it's good he left

He was probably writing down who was tokin' to hand to some cop on the way out the door...

[TlalocW]

15. Yeah, Dan is a little disappointed with Mellencamp

But he's really looking to seeing the Dixie Chicks next month. :)

17. Tickets for Dixie Chicks in Austin

My wonderful wife just bought 2 tickets for the Dixie Chicks concert in Austin in October as a birthday present for me! Guess I won't be seeing Dan Quayle at the Erwin Center?

[BOSSHOG]

18. Great News

I hope they make it to New Orleans someday. They would be great in the House of Blues. A few years back I got my wife two tickets to see her heartthrob Dwight Yokum. Concert tickets do make great gifts.

[Vickers]

19. "Dan said through a publicist" WTF? Taterhead can't speak for himself?

What a pathetic dickwad.

[NV Whino]

20. Little Danny's still around?

I thought he evaporated a long time ago.

[graywarrior]

21. How did he know that Mellencamp's performance was not very well

to begin with if he walked out on it?

[zbdent]

22. Was Dan Quayle stupid? I doubt it ... (in this case) - John M.'s

politics are well known ... Dan is probably doing one of those things where the person goes way out of their way to "get offended" ... he probably thought it was far too long since his name made the news ...

[Virginia Dare]

23. If Mellencamp were smart...

he'd donate the cost of Dan Quayle's tickets to the Democratic Party!!!

:kick:

[LiberalFighter]

26. Gee Mellencamp has been around for a while...

If Mellencamp's performance is subpar he wouldn't be around in the business.

Hey, I guess it does apply to Quayle. His performance was subpar as VP so he isn't around in the business.

Why attend a Mellencamp concert if he thinks his performance isn't very good? He was probably given the wrong directions to his room and ended up at Mellencamp.

[LiberalFighter]

27. He is too good to live in Indiana anymore... especially in Huntington

At least the repug politicians here in Indiana can't include Quayle leaving Indiana with the brain drain problem. That should had increased the average IQ in the state.

[Alexodin]

28. I hate Mellencamp and his music. Having said that, Quayle is

pretty much irrelevant. In my opinion "sucking on a chili dog outside the Tastee Freeze" is possibly the worst rock lyrics ever penned. What Dan Quayle thinks of anything is not only irrelevant its guaranteed to be wrong so if he hates Mellencamp I'll go back and give another listen. Ugh

[CAG]

34. Pink houses, Check it out, Scarecrow, come on, he's great...

He's a songwriter for the common man, the farmer, etc. Half of his songs are about sticking it to the corporation, the banker, etc.
Hurts so good was his Cougar phase, just breaking in, so give him a break on that one.

[Alexodin]

35. John menstrual Cramp may write songs that are against

"the man" but he still sucks hard in my opinion. Hey I love The Animals but they wrote, " Then thousand electric guitars groovin real loud" easily the worst lyric ever written. Get real. Its not the song its that some lyrics suck so bad they are off the charts. Mellencamp has made history in this regard, not good. I doubt he could even tune a guitar for the first three years of his coronation by Clear Channel. I'm not jealous just judicious. "When The Walls" is a good tune I don't deny him that but its like a two chord song so go pound sand. Love you anyway.

[Cha]

29. qualye didn't like

Murphy Brown, either! mr pissypants strikes again!

I'm betting John Mellencamp's concert was going quite WELL!

[AtomicKitten]

31. Dan who? n/t

[RoyGBiv]

36. Dan Quayle IS a panty wad ...

And he's no Jack Kennedy.

Why can't these has-been's just fade away.

[opihimoimoi]

37. So Lil Dannie is a music Critic too? Damn....Put Dpwns are SO REPUBLICAN

[samsingh]

38. he's just trying to get attention again
