Let’s just hope he runs. It will be the only and well-deserved comic relief we’ll get in the immaculation of Hillary.

Keep Biden viable so he’ll make Hillary scrape for the nomination. (Besides, he’s extremely beatable.)

When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed."

Dan Quayle never said anything that dumb.

Quayle never said anything dumb, just couldn’t spell worth a crap.

My hope is that Hillary is to sick to run and that Biden gets the nomination and loses in the biggest landslide in history to Cruz or Palin :)

I’ve met Dan Quayle . Twice ....he is nothing like Biden appears to be . Biden is a phony , arrogant SOB ; clueless in just about every way . A prop .
Dan Quayle , on the other is a solid , look-you-in-the-eye guy , who actually listens to what you have to say , and does not look around , or at his watch . He radiates a lot of good vibes and when I told him I had voted for him back in the day
and had wanted to vote fro him again , he profoundly thanked me . It’s a pity that he is not more visible and involved in the whole process anymore . We could do far worse .

> Hidden just below the surface of the liberal media is a barely noticed trend of patronizing contempt: Joe Biden is the Democrats’ Dan Quayle, but because he is a Democrat they’ll do anything to avoid treating him like they treated Dan Quayle.

Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.

The spelling thing was bunk.

Quayle was handed a spelling bee card by the school. His card said "potatoe". A boy stood up and wrote "potato" on the blackboard. Quayle looked at the card, looked at the board, and said "you left the e off the end".

The school was either dumb or evil. Quayle trusted them.

Unfortunately the whole thing was on TV and this little mistake probably have cost him his chance at the Presidency.

Actually, the way I heard it, it was the teacher in the class who gave Quayle the wrong spelling, and he, not quite sure and astoundingly thinking a teacher might know better than he did, went with the misinformation - so much for American public school education.....

Joe is just a “Biden” his time and he some the one who the democrats will “aBide”. As one who opposes the budgetary forces of both established parties, it seems that many from both parties shall reject the nominations they offer up and in essence default to the republicans as an alternative. Too bad that in twenty years the TEA party will have taken the place of the Chicago Militant Left being established on the Right.

I don’t blame Dan Quayle for keeping a low profile. The media treated him like shit, and for what? Misspelling the word potato? One can only imagine the commentary that would ensue had he asked a man in a wheelchair to stand up or claimed to have visited 57 states. The unjustified savaging of Dan Quayle vs the blind eye turned to Biden’s serial gaffs is evidence enough of the leftist bias of the legacy media.

A popular myth among the leftists is the Dan Quayle “latin” quote. I like to let them wade chest deep into that one before I direct them to snopes where they have to read that he never said it. They look like they just found out Santa really doesn’t exist!

Dan Quayle’ s supposed idiocy was a complete wholecloth, media manufacture.

Look him up on YouTube. He’s insightful & intelligent.

We should’ve known by his treatment we’d be in for the present trouble, the Neo-Stalinist media megalopoly threatening our freedom and prosperity.

Reference treatment of Dan Quayle. Much of the press seem to have the twisted soul of a Bill Maher and the acute razor sharpness of a snide Jon Stewart.

Have they no shame? To echo one of their own.

Dan Quayle was not dumb. He was just a republican. He could also beat Obama at golf with one hand, but the press pitched a fit when he played.

I’m just wondering how they are going to get all those Campaign Pool-Reporters on his short yellow campaign bus.
