I’ve heard Quayle speak many times since being VP. He is actually quite brilliant and very conservative which is why the media “Palinzed” him.
His Murphy Brown statements were right on.
He was way to the right of Pappy Bush, who I no longer respect.
I’ve been impressed hearing him speak, too. But, I think he should’ve stood up for himself for that “potatoe” spelling. Wasn’t he was reading from a flash card given to him?
Even snooty The Atlantic magazine published an article by a noted family advocate abd scholar, Barbara Dafoe Whitehead, called Dan Quayle Was Right in 1993, for which she won many awards and recognitions. But of course, by then the political damage was done.
The article examined actual statistics concerning single-parent "families", divorce and step-parenting and other sexual re-engineering and showed that the so-called Sexual Revolution does "not strengthen the social fabric but, rather, dramatically weakens and undermines society."
