Let’s join the msm in attacking someone about whom we know nothing.

To: Lakeshark
Yes. The liberal media is sh*t and Americans are slavees and serfs because of their power. The American public enpowers their overlords everytime they switch on the TV.
Cable TV gave them more power because every cable bill is divided up so you are sending CNN $1 a month and CNBC/MSNBC/NBC $1 a month whether you watch it or not. But idiots like “college ball” and other forms of mindless “entertainment.”
Oddly - Candice Bergen after her career was largely over - said Dan Quayle was right. Seems like a few s**the*ds here still are piling on the guy.

Wonder if he's ever given his kids a ‘Breathalyzer an ‘inhalator’.
To: Constitutions Grandchild
And you bought the setup, didn’t you. The press sabotaged Quayle and you bought it.There was no internet then as there is to help with the lies now.

"...the card he had read spelled it that way..." Do I correctly recall Quayle leaning over to the misspelled word and checking the card against it?
Maybe there's a YouTube of it. :-?

Another scion of the ruling class. Really? How do you figure that?

Dan Quayle was never of the “ruling class.”
To: Lakeshark
Yes. Quayle was setup but don't tell Freepers that.
The press also accused Quayles wife of influencing policy by attending meetings but she wasn't even in town at the time. There was no internet to expose the setup and lies.
What surprises me is that Freepers are buying it.

I noticed some snide remarks earlier in the thread.
No one knows what the son believes or stands for, and they bring up the potatoe thing as a real issue.
The LSM has done its job well.....

To: Lakeshark
The media ... just ran with it. I heard that the reporters themselves were NOT sure about the correct spelling and that they were all running for the dictionaries to check the spelling.
Anyone remember that?
To: dr_who
Exactly. First step—make your own announcement, don’t have Dad do it for you!
To: eCSMaster
Some people consider US Senators to be of the ruling class.

To: dr_who
Can Ben speak for himself?
That's exactly what I'm wondering. Whether your father had a great or horrible political reputation, wouldn't you want to make the announcement yourself, and not your daddy? If the guy can't even make his own announcement, how in the world is he going to be his own man in Congress? Good grief.

***...maybe he should announce it himself.***
No..this is smart...it gets all the Dan Quayle bashing up front. Then Ben comes along and praises his Dad as a warm, decent human being.
Like father, like son.
Unlike the Ted & Patrick Kennedy dynasty of media moonglow.

No kidding, instead of calling some “freepers’, they should be called “kneejerkers”.
