Anyone remember that?

Yes, I remember that. The press was way over the top on that. Of course, he said other things that weren't terribly brilliant. Overall, I think he's a decent guy, but even today he has a knack for saying things that make you want to cringe. I saw him on Fox's Huckabee show recently, and Mike H. asked him if he missed being VP. Quayle did not give a very mature response. It was something along the lines of "yeah, you do miss sitting with the President in the White House, running the world". I thought to myself, OMG, did he just say he missed "running the world"? Again, the press went way over board with him, but he did give them some ammo, and this would be a classic example if they were still after him. Of course, liberals, like Joe Biden say idiotic things constantly and never get lampooned by the MSM like they did with Quayle and are trying with Palin.

He got templated by the LSM after he was ambushed by the Kennedy comment in his VP debate. Sometimes he didn't help his own case, but you're right about the media double standard, Biden wouldn't be in office if he was held to the same standards as quayle was.

Sometimes I wonder if we as a country can live through the onslaught of our own media.
