Plus I think Quayle’s spelling of “potatoe” is an acceptable alternate spelling?
Correct.
Here’s an Oxford Dictionaries blog stating the spelling was often used by the New York Times and the Washington Post up until the fateful Dan Quayle Day That Changed History. After that, it was never seen again in either newspaper:

The fact alone that the world remembers the Dan Quayle episode is an excellent example of the power of propaganda and the MSM OVER all of us, like it or not!
Very true.
Getting rich is the best revenge though, and as Cerberus Chairman of Global Investments, he’s laughing all the way to the bank.
Ding, ding, ding - we have a thread winnah!
The dope-smoker-in-chief can’t spell a simple word? What a shocker...NOT. I’m always in shock when he can put a sentence together without TOTUS.
Thank you. I don’t think it’s anything we didn’t already know.

Republicans are expected to have brains and democrats are expected to stay stupid because the Party depends on it.
I always thought it was “ RESPCT, what my brudda means to me, RESPCT, take out the PCT, sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me...”
Of course, back then, we didn’t have Lyrics.com to tell us exactly what the lyrics were. So, I just sang it like I “heard” it.
I remember seeing Aretha Franklin singing that on the D.C. Mall once during a Cure Cancer rally. I’d taken my junior high school daughter to D.C.to see the sites. Just happened to be the weekend of the rally.
Well....its not like it was spelt out in the song or anything.
Guess the teleprompter man will end up getting audited.
Dan Quayle gave us an extra E. Zero takes an E.
There is two types of people, givers and takers.
