The Imperial Caddy by Joe Queenan is an interesting exploration of Dan Quayle. Things I remember: Quayle was such a bad student that he was turned down by every college or university he applied to until his parents gave one school a quarter million dollars—and then he was let in; while he was in college, he played, weather permitting, two and a half rounds of golf a day, and his goal in life was to become a pro golfer.
Remnant, would you need a spelling flash card to tell you how to spell “potato”? Wouldn’t you have pointed out to the teacher that the card was wrong?
