Re Dan Quayle. The context in which you reference Dan Quayle suggests you let the MSM do your thinking.

Uh huh. World's smartest man:

"Mars is essentially in the same orbit... Mars is somewhat the same distance from the Sun, which is very important. We have seen pictures where there are canals, we believe, and water. If there is water, that means there is oxygen. If oxygen, that means we can breathe."

"I love California, I practically grew up in Phoenix"

"I believe we are on an irreversible trend towards freedom and democracy, but that could change"

If this was a Democrat, you'd be laughing.
