The Democratic mainline media is all atwitter over reports that former second lady Tipper Gore wants to join Hillary Clinton in the Senate.
But at least one survey suggests Americans would like to see two other former executive branch spouses make the run before Mrs. Gore, including Marilyn Quayle, whom Tipper replaced as second lady in 1993.
In fact, Mrs. Quayle beats Mrs. Gore by a whopping three-to-one margin, according to an online poll conducted by U.S. News & World Report. Also beating Tipper in the same survey, Nancy Reagan.
"With reports circulating that the former vice president's wife, Tipper Gore, is considering a run for the Senate from Tennessee, pick the 'wife of' you'd like to see in the Senate," asks U.S. News.
As of Saturday morning, results of the self-selecting survey were as follows:
Sen. Tipper Gore: 17 percent
Sen. Nancy Reagan: 25 percent
Sen. Marilyn Quayle: 51 percent
Sen. Rosalynn Carter 7 percent
Mrs. Gore's poor showing would no doubt improve in more "scientific" surveys conducted for left-leaning media outlets among people who don't generally vote.
But if Marilyn Quayle, who's been out of the news for years, can topple Tipper so easily, Democratic strategists now gushing over her candidacy may want to reconsider.
No no no no no no no. Let the 'rats run Tipper--PUH-LEEEEEEEEEEEEZE!
As an aside, let me say that the sight of Mrs. Gore (she was the one member of the Clinton/Gore marriages I could stomach, btw) "snapping pictures" while her husband was on the stump in Campaign 2000 was the stupidest bit of schtick I've seen in a long, long, long time.
Did anyone else notice this during Al "The Liar" Gore's speeches?? He'd give an applause line, and Tipper had this camera wrapped around her neck like she was a tourist and she'd snap photos every now and then, like she was excited to see every crowd. Gagged me every time I saw it; and I'm willing to bet there wasn't any film in that camera. But regardless, it was a dumb, "Hey, I'm a mom excited to see you too!" ploy. Carville probably thought it up, and Al "The Liar" Gore, lackey to Clinton that he is, went along.
She's nowhere near as sick as the Hildebeast.
She'de have to be nuts to marry a putz like al.
This is a trick question, right? How about ALL of them?
She's a re-make of “Olive Oil”. Kinda like Wendy in “The Shining”.
Tipper Gore is a first rate moron who wonders where her buffoon of a husband learned how to kiss.
When he put that lip-lock on her, all I could think about was Herman Munster.
