Why do we all pay so much attention to Dan Quayle?

[DFW]

Dan who? Oh, yeah, THAT Dan Quayle. As in J. Danforth Quayle. Vice-President of the USA under Bush, Senior.
Remember? Vaguely, right?

That guy would have made Alexander Throttlebottom seem like a VP ready to take over the presidency if necessary.

So where is he now? I mean a former VP and all, selected because he was a young U.S. Senator, and looked
good in photo ops, as long as you were willing to excuse the lame expression on his face, as well as the
lame things that came out of his mouth every time he opened it. But because Bush Sr. had Frank Luntz types,
and Lee Atwater pushing images of Willie Horton on us, Quayle actually got to be VP.

Sarah Palin did NOT get to be VP (maybe there is a God after all). Nor, in all likelihood will she ever
get near the White House except on a guided tour. So, if Dan Quayle has faded into obscurity, despite
the superior marketing skills of Palin's handlers, I have hope that she eventually will as well, seeing
as how she has about as much chance of attaining national office as Nebraska has of becoming a surfer's
paradise. Even the funniest joke gets old if told over and over and over and over. You betcha.

2. I have a better question.

Why do we pay so much attention to a guy who gets so drunk that he shoots his friend in the face point blank with a shotgun and then makes HIM apologize?

Or

Why do we pay so much attention to a woman with an IQ of 95 who shoots wolves from helicopters and abandoned her elected position as governor in favor of self-aggrandizement?

or "potatoe" as he would tell you....:evilgrin:

5. I never got this all out war Republicans have had with English grammar

They always go ballistic whenever bi-lingual education is brought up, or when they hear
someone speak Spanish, and yet their English is often no better than that of some poor
gas station attendant from El Salvador who just got his green card last week.
