Quayle was destroyed by a biased press that lied constantly. That is harder to do with the internet. Chrissy Matthews was one of them that flat out lied.
Quayle was destroyed by what my good friend Lawrence Ward, the president of PoliticalMedia.com, has called “Caricature Assassination.” The leftwing media creates a caricature of the conservative enemy and then piles on the ridicule.
Quayle’s problem was that he was too much of a gentleman to come out swinging and take the bastards heads off. Hopefully, his son learned the lesson: Give no quarter; take no prisoners.
