Vice President Dan Quayle puts an E on the end of potato and is considered the dumbest VP in history, yet Joe Biden makes a gaffe a day and we hear almost nothing of it.

yet Joe Biden makes a gaffe a day and we hear almost nothing of it. For years, the Washington press corps routinely referred to Biden as "The Dumbest Man In The Senate".
Since Biden was nominated for VP, you have yet to hear them use that expression.
What a worthless bunch of whores...

"Vice President Dan Quayle puts an E on the end of potato..."
It was a kiddie-school photo-op, and that's how it was printed on the flashcards he was given:
"His most famous blunder occurred when he corrected student William Figueroa's correct spelling of 'potato' to 'potatoe' at an elementary school spelling bee in Trenton, New Jersey, on June 15, 1992.[15][16] Although he was relying on cards provided by the school which included the misspelling, Quayle was widely lambasted for his apparent inability to spell the word 'potato'. According to his memoirs, Quayle was uncomfortable with the version he gave, but did so because he decided to trust the school's incorrect written materials. Figueroa was a guest on Late Night with David Letterman and was asked to lead the Pledge of Allegiance at the 1992 Democratic National Convention." [
