Happy 60th birthday to Potato-brain


James Danforth "Dan" Quayle (born February 4, 1947) was the 44th Vice President of the United States under George H. W. Bush (1989-1993). He unsuccessfully sought the 2000 Republican Party Presidential nomination.

Bentsen vs. Quayle at the Vice-Presidential debate, 1988:

3. That's "potatoe-brain."
He was one heart-beat away from the Presidency of the United States. Why in f**k's sake do Americans trust Republicans to do anything???

7. Quayle is another Bush "Clarence Thomas" moment
Bush's like to place brainless people like Quayle and Thomas in order to disable a vote or office.

However, compared to His Chimperial Highness George Bush Jr., do you notice how downright SAGE Quayle looks in comparison?

8. How can Dick Cheney tell the diffeerence
between a Texas lawyer and a Quayle in the brush?

He could point his shotgun at it & order it to spell "potato."

11. I remember so many of Pat Oliphaunt's "Little Danforth" cartoons...
A prissy, somewhat effeminate-looking Bush Senior wheeling him around in a stroller, or baby carriage...with Little Danforth wearing a baby bonnet, brandishing a rattle or a lollipop. :rofl:

12. Just watched that clip with Quayle and Bentsen
That was the best slap down ever!!! Hell, Bush makes Dan Quayle look like a Rhodes scholar.
