Can someone explain to me how exactly Quayle got such a bad reputation.
The only gaffe I remember was the ‘potatoe’ incident which was blown way out of proportion. He won the election as VP, had a good service as a legislator, no major faux-pax as VP, what exactly did he do wrong. Other then being on the losing ticket in 1992. That loss was not his fault, Bush Sr has plenty of mea culpas on that one.
For me, I remember Quayle as a good man and if I was to be compared to him I would take it as a compliment.
