Dan Quayle advises Palin: "Look, just be yourself"

http://www.theindychannel.com/news/17721346/detail.html

<snip>

Quayle said he thinks Palin has acquitted herself well in spite of a torrent of criticism of her experience and her responses during interviews. Quayle said he offered Palin advice on how to deal with the spotlight.

"I basically said, 'Look, just be yourself. You were selected by John McCain because of who you are and what you have done,'" Quayle said. "Don't let them take anything away from you. Just go out and be yourself."

Quayle said he thinks voters will ultimately make their choice based on their opinions of McCain and Barack Obama, not the vice presidential candidates.

3. I call BS on the first couple of words...
"Quayle said he thinks." Wrong.

No word on whether he actually DOES think or not.

It's a shame Eddie Deezen isn't still 19 and available for that kind of work. He did the voice of the greedy obnoxious kid in The Polar Express.

19. Remember when you asked me to tell you when you were being rude and insensitive?
Well, you're doing it now.

8. He should have
added, "People that are really very weird can get into sensitive positions and have a tremendous impact on history." (taken from a Dan Quayle quotations page.) http://www.quotationspage.com/quotes/Dan_Quayle

10. Yeah, let the world know you've been judged to be an abuser
of power and are officially a LIAR.


"mccain-palin is the only national ticket where "both candidates
were found to have violated ethics standards before a national election."



"A HISTORIC TICKET.... Now that Sarah Palin has been found to have abused her powers, violated state ethics, and lied about it, I did a little digging and found an interesting historical footnote.

The McCain/Palin ticket is the first in American history in which both candidates were found to have violated ethics standards before a national election.

McCain, of course, was admonished by Senate Ethics Committee "for exercising 'poor judgment' for intervening" with federal regulators on behalf of Charles Keating, as part of the infamous Keating Five scandal.

And now McCain's running mate has also been found to have violated state ethics laws and abused the powers of her office, as part of the "Troopergate" scandal.

"The nation has had 102 major-party tickets covering 51 presidential elections over more than two centuries. And we've never had a ticket in which both candidates on the same ticket were responsible for ethics violations before a national election. McCain/Palin is the first."

It makes the whole "reform" pitch a little more difficult, doesn't it?"

11. True - she did "acquit herself" - in the Troopergate case
Unfortunately, the report itself did not acquit her

17. Dan Quayle? There's someone to admire. I wonder who else has given her advice.
John McCain would tell her "Dump your spouse, he isn't good looking enough"
George Bush Senior would tell her "Read my lips, my tax plan will work."

21. The focus is on her because she could be Pres. of the USA.
McLame's health is a real issue. Speculation that he may not live through an entire term in office has brought focus to her. Does anyone, except the RWing Cult, believe that she is qualified to be Pres. of the USA?
