I always think of the "Potatoe" incident with Dan Quayle. The left played this to the hilt. Seriously, how many people here have speald a word incorrectlty at sometime?? All of us?

Fifty-Seven states? I must have missed the anex of Canada.

Dan Quayle was savaged; like him or not.

Quayle made a simple mistake. As for Obama it is unconcinable to not know that we have fifty states.

I think the mass media showed just how cruel and mean spirited they were and stiil are.

They handed Quayle a card at the spelling bee. The word on the card was spelled "POTATOE." He was set up.

Palin's policy is best. Do not cooperate with the enemy, including the eneMedia. They will set you up.

I agree he was treated unfairly, but as I recall, a student had spelled “potato” correctly, and he pointed out the “error” and advised that it should be spelled with an e.

No one has ever told you that Quayle actually took that spelling off the official card of the spelling bee officials as the actual correct English spelling of the word? It was another of the “stupid” or dishonest moments of the MSM that the gullible public swallowed.
