I regret Dan Quayle's withdrawal from public life.
He, like most conservatives was portrayed as a dunce by the media. Actually he was pretty damn smart and correct in most of his views. He left the public arena much too soon.

And, as a tribute to Dan, I always prefer the unapproved plural spelling of potato.

Very true. And now we have the same media portraying dunces as geniuses.

I regret Dan Quayle's withdrawal from public life.

I do, too. I was hoping that after leaving the vice presidency, he would run for governor of Indiana so that if victorious, he could put some of his ideas into practice. That might have also made him a strong candidate for the presidency. Instead, following a half-hearted run for president in 2000, he just faded away.

He was, but he did not come across that way on TV for some reason. Sure, the media portrayed him unfairly, but some of this was self inflicted.
