I was and still am a proud potatoEhead. That nomination was rigged for GWB, with massive cash infusions and insider support. Dan Quayle is an absolute scholar and class act with foreign affairs. He NEVER embarrassed the US or demonstrated ignorance of the issues, either as a US Senator or as VP. This morning on Today, he was SO IMPRESSIVE that the hosts asked him to come back often.
How quickly the elite forget. They held Quayle up to ridicule, took things out of context, made fun of his lovely and accomplished wife.
Dan Quayle as Secretary of State could be a real good idea. He knows the historical context of the mess US policy has made of the world.

Grania thank you I couldn't have said it myself.
They had to destroy this clean cut mid-westerner and his lovely wife. They knew he was a talent, and had the image. G-d Forbid the GOP have their own handsome JFK if you will. And it is a damn shame what talent and what a great POTUS he would have been, our country lost so much, what a waste.And worse they did it again, they "Quayled" Sarah Palin, same MO and same talent.
And the Vichy Republicans that helped? Pox on your house as well...

Dan Quayle is a good man in my opinion. He was unjustifiably ridiculed by everyone in DC! I can’t blame him for leaving DC politics. It’s a stinking cesspool.
