Before Sarah Palin, the GOP had Dan Quayle

If anyone knows what it is like to be Sarah Palin right now, it is James Danforth Quayle.

"It sure sounded familiar," Dan Quayle chuckled, his voice coming over the telephone line from Phoenix, 20 years and a lifetime away from the explosion of shock and negative news stories that greeted his ascension to the vice presidential nomination, as it has hers.

So this is the new line of attack from the MSM: make Sarah looks like Dan!

Ol Danny boy has more experience than Obama. LOL! They aren’t going to find too many examples of GOP leaders that don’t have a longer record than Hussein’s, because HE DOESN’T HAVE ONE!!!

Brilliant move on the McCain/Palin campaign. They have effectively boxed the Messiah in.

I thought this was the old, pre-Palin speech, attack. Regardless, the only deck for Ms. Decker is the poop deck.

I remember how the press mocked him, rather viciously, about his spelling error.

2008, Dem. nominee thinks there are 57 states. MSM looks away.

If George H. Bush had Sarah Palin as VP he would have been a two term president. Of course I mean today’s Sarah Palin.

Dan Quayle is pregnant with Todd Palin’s love child, according to KOS. Breaking.

They don’t care that Obamanation thinks he is running against, the VP running mate. They also don’t care that he doesn’t know she is Governor Palin.

Quayle was a great guy. His country club mannerisms and penchant for malaprop made him prime fodder for the drive-bys. Just another in a long list of conservatives with whom debate is not enough. The Main-streamers feel compelled to destroy these people personallly to prevent them from achieving positions of power. (see also: Robert Bork, Jesse Helms, Ronald Reagan, Clarence Thomas, John Ashcroft, Rush Limbaugh, et al).

Man they are digging deep...ROTFLMAO!!!!

If they put the Chosen One up against Quayle, he still looks ridiculous.

Liberals hate it when reality arrives.

Dan Quayle was actually a pretty solid guy, and very far from an idiot.

He did suffer from an almost total lack of the kind of poise and charisma Palin has so much of, which is why the attacks on him worked.

He should have stuck to local politics and worked his way up.

Heh...

Bring it on!!!

Quayle is/was a very nice guy who didn't really know how to give as good as he got.

Sarah doesn't have that problem.

Pitbulls with lipstick baby. Bring it on! I wanna see the Sarahcudda eat their lunch.

I think that Quayle was treated unfairly. Frankly, I can’t find anything wrong with what he said about Murphy Brown, except that it has nothing to do with the government, but its not like every other politician hasn’t done likewise in every single speech (they must stay off topic, so as not to alienate people by being specific about what they will do if elected).

His problem was his personality. He didn’t have IT, as casting agents say. Palin has IT.

People still think that he spelled potato wrong when all he did was read the spelling on the card the teacher provided him.
