Arizona House candidate Ben Quayle (R) accused the media of focusing on his recent foibles because of his famous last name.
The son of former Vice Prsidnet Dan Quayle has admitted he wrote for a racy website called DirtyScottsdale.com but denied he had a column under the byline, "Brock Landers."
Quayle said he was used to "being made fun of" because of his name.
"Having the last name of Quayle, we're used to being made fun of and [having] some parody and having things that aren't true being said about you," he told CNN's John King Friday. "So, you know, it stings but you know that's the way that politics goes nowadays."

He’s right, but he should count his blessings, he’s not a Palin...LOL.
I don’t think it’s a good idea to run for office playing the victim card. It goes without saying the media would go after him. He should behave like Palin & let it roll off of him.
More sins of the father. Life is not fair but he was raised rich so I am sure that makes up for it. Just tell everyone you can spell and prove it that should help you out.
Victim = Palin. She will get by on it. It works for her it won’t work for this guy.
Yeah, but he didn’t deny posting all those columns under the psuedonym “Chest Rockwell.”
Palin WAS VICTIMIZED by the media & still is, for that matter. But I don’t think she behaves like a victim. She’s still out there doing her thing, & coming back at them as necessary.
“The son of former Vice Prsidnet Dan Quayle “
Interesting typo on somebody’s part. Might as well have said Vice Potatoe.
Well, compared to the 60 year old, corrupt as can be politicians currently holding office, I'd be willing to give him a chance.
Could he possibly do any worse?
He is right. The moment a normal person becomes a threat to the established democrat power, they get out the slime machine and start destroying the person.
Here are two far better choices with actual accomplishments:

Obsessed? Because I post one thing. Your twisted.
Another conservative candidate with actual accomplishments is Paradise Valley Mayor Vernon Parker. http://www.parker2010.com/
Parker has raised more money than anyone other than Quayle, and might be our best bet to beat Quayle and RINOish former state senator in the primary.
