And even Candace Bergen admitted that Dan Quayle was right.

Is that true? The article called "Dan Quayle Was Right" was published in 1993 The Atlantic by Barbara Dafoe Whitehead, an academic who studied trends in family and sex relations. Bergen was not the author of that phrase, but was the "object" of the essay, which cast a critical eye on the message of Bergen's liberated female on the Murphy Brown show.

I read on and saw that you posted a link saying that Candace Bergen did say "Dan Quayle had a point" in 2002 -- and the author of the article copied the Atlantic article title from 1993, which had made quite a stir at the time. Thanks for the link. Interesting that she admitted it.
