Dan Quayle announces son's run for Congress
The Hill ^ | 2-12-10 | Sean J. Miller

Dan Quayle announced Friday his son is running for Congress. Attorney Ben Quayle (R) will seek the open seat in Arizona's 3rd district, the former vice president told Fox News Channel.

Rep. John Shadegg (R) has announced he won't seek reelection, prompting several GOPers to enter the fray.

Quayle praised his 33-year-old son as the "next generation of leadership."

“We are convinced that he will be successful and we're very hopeful that he'll be the next congressman for the 3rd congressional district," he said. "I'll do whatever he wants me to do or whatever he doesn't want me to do."

Stay home, Dad.

Another decent family headed for MSM screwtiny and humiliation.

It has been truly amazing to watch Sarah absorb the slings & arrows.........perhaps she is inspiring others to take up the sword for sanity.

Good luck Ben Quayle.

“Dan Quayle announced Friday his son is running for Congress.”

Well, if his son wants to run for congress, maybe he should announce it himself.

I hadn’t thought of that but you may be right about Sarah inspiring others to jump in.

“Quayle praised his 33-year-old son as the “next generation of leadership.””

Sounds familiar.

Ok, if daddy has to make the announcement for you, you may not be ready to run for Congress...

My remembrance of the event was that a kid spelled it that way, Dan was a judge, and the card he had read spelled it that way. The media had the template of him as stupid and just ran with it.

Anyone remember that?

Dan Quayle was a nice guy and the media gave him the Sarah Palin treatment.

It was a setup. Quayle was given cards with words on them. If there had been an internet then, the press wouldn’t have gotten away with sabotaging him. They’re trying it with Palin and the net keeps it from being totally successful.
