Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for January 03, 2018

No one has ever regretted not doing an interview with the vice-president.

Funnily enough, Panel 4’s what Quayle said, too.

Dan Quayle and Sarah Palin, the brain trust. Like to see them on Jeopardy.

Heck, Elmont makes more sense then Danny Boy EVER did!

Dan Quayle, Bush père et fils, now tRUMP are living proof you don’t have to be smart to succeed in politics….just rich !

The funny thing is that, according to pretty much everyone who had a conversation with him, Dan Quayle was a pretty smart guy.

He just had this thing that, when there was a microphone in front of him, his brain would disconnect from his mouth, and wacky stuff would come out. Not well suited for politics.

I don’t know whether I’d say Quayle’s “stuff” was more or less wacky than Trump’s.

Ol’ potato head himself. Or is that potatoe head?

Funny story-

Back when I was on active duty I was passing through Andrews AFB on my way to the west coast. As I was waiting for my next flight the gate made an announcement that there would be a “line freeze” for a VIP flight, which meant no flights coming or going for at least 30 minutes. Turns out that then VP Quayle was flying out on Air Force Two, and since there were only about eight of us in the lounge (all active duty) they would let us go out to a roped off section of the tarmac to watch him depart.

The thing was, Air Force Two was parked about 200 yards away from the terminal when Quayle’s motorcade pulled up to it. He gets out with his Secret Service detail and climbs the stairs to the plane. When he got to the top, he stops, turns around and gives our little group a big wave before boarding.

Quayle was a fine example of “Assassination Insurance” as practiced by a LOT of Republican Presidents. Choose someone who would be an UTTER DISASTER if they became President, and you decrease your chances of getting popped! It really started with Nixon and Agnew, then St. Ronnie and Poppy, who managed to get elected anyhow, but then Poppy chose Mr. Potato-Head, the shrub got Darth Cheney thrust upon him, and now we have Preacher Pence.

How would Dan Quayle be more of an UTTER DISASTER than the president we have now?

Yup. It’s like his teleprompter was running on defective AI.
