Forgotten former vice president Dan Quayle is always wrong about everything, so the Obama campaign is surely horrified that the Indiana lightweight “respects” Barack and believes John McCain faces an “uphill battle” in November. Sure, everybody else believes that, too. But if Dan Quayle is endorsing this conventional wisdom … well, see you in Iraq in the year 2108.
Quayle isn’t just clueless in the funny historical sense; he’s wrong right now, about this year!
Quayle also acknowledged that he expected Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton and Republican Mitt Romney would meet in the general election.
“I don’t think anyone saw, including myself, the Barack Obama movement” coming, he said.
Uhh ….
Quayle respects Obama, McCain has uphill battle [WTOP/AP]
The fucking guy can’t even spell “potato.”
Were yer predictions off Danny? Rearry??
He might still be right, given the high probability of sudden death and assassination in either camp at the moment.
NotUrEvryDayWEzl: DanQuaylewwwcom.net… psyckic reedings a doller
I think that Dan Quayle is positioning himself to be Barry Hussein’s vice presidential pick. It would be a BRILLIANT move by Barry Hussein to bring christian conservatives back into the democratic fold where they traditionally belong. PLUS Quayle’s mother in law is Canadian which will shore up the Canadian vote.
shortsshortsshorts: neither can you apparently unless you are just a poor typer (or dysfunctional macro). The correct spelling is potatoe. I figured trailer trash like you eats potatoes every night of the week so you would know that.
West Coast Wonketteers unite!
American Dreamer: Did you know that even ordinary folks like you can buy a Kia? Neither does Quayle.
uncletravelingmatt: I think we should shoot up one of ‘dem east coast rappers and bring the Clinton years back.
shortsshortsshorts: Either that or drink hoppy beer ’til the AM, and really baffle ‘em with our alcohol, forest-fire-smoke, and ungodly-heat-induced, um, commentary.
uncletravelingmatt: As SF stands under 32 below zero temp, I doubt the heat can induce me to smother those basterds. In a wierd way, I wish I was Dan Quayle, living on the souls of Reno.
But our beer kicks ass, and forest fire is umm, hawt.
Forest fires are great. They impart Mounatin View with that same urine-y smell normally reserved for the alleys around the Warfield.
The catchy “Dan Quayle is stupid” meme from 1992 reminds me a lot of the “McCain wears diapers” meme of 2008.
travellabyrinth: Wasn’t he?
Doesn’t he?
“Dan Quayle is stupid” meme…. Ahh, the goodole days, when our VP was stupid, and easily distracted by taking on the fictional baby of a fictional character on a TV show. Now the VP is smart, and he sends the President out to fetch war-lust from the Christians whom Jesus will burn for their actions.
Subtle changes are starting to appear in the New Testament: “That which you do to the least of my brothers you can get away with.” “Blessed are the meek when you’re hungry.” “It’s not easy for a camel to pass through the eye of the needle to enter heaven, unless the camel is like filthy rich or something.” “Temple here: Welcome back, money changers!”
Bush didn’t seem to notice these hot new items. He only has faith-based reading skills.

Forever shall HE live in my assoul.
Oh yeah — and how does he spell “pommes de terreur”?
Dan Quayle and Geraldine Ferraro…talk about blasts from the pasts. Vice presidential picks are just comic relief 75% of the time, if you think about. Even Cheney is pretty funny if you think about it.
villageatrois: Don’t worry, it’s just an innocent body of water that got more than it’s fair share of rain.
Was not teh terrorists. Yet? Maybe? Which is why we should throw everybody dealing with this tragic situation into a VERY CLOSED FACILITY hosting the Saints, and interrogate them for Jeebus and any spell-checker that wishes to dictate … words.
Mitt vs. Hills, Barry vs. Walnuts…
Potato, potahtoe.
Yeah, but you have to admit, Back to teh Future was a pretty decent flick.
American Dreamer: I know you love negative attention. Potato is the singular of potatoes. There is no such person as a poor typer, as typer is not a word. I think you may have meant poor typist. Go ahead, use a dictionary or Spell Check. As far as any ongoing exchanges between the two of us, let’s try to avoid that at all costs. I rarely read the comments and when I do, I usually skip over yours. I’m here for the satire of the columnist, not the toxic negativity spewed by people like you.
This is a site I enjoy a lot. I address my comments to the columnist and move on to the next one. Just know that in the future I will not respond to any comments you may make directly to me, as that is my prerogative.
Sincerely and respectfully,
Mr-Clark
The Holocaust was an obscene period in our nation’s history. I mean in this century’s history. But we all lived in this century. I didn’t live in this century.

ronaldpagan:
McCain has always been synonymous with frozen french fries to me.
I subscribed to The Quayle Quarterly, back when you had to do such things on paper (did he even have a snarky usenet group?) and recall being quite content in my belief that at least no one worse than Mr. Quayle would ever reach high office in America. Sigh…
villageatrois: “Temple here: Welcome back, money changers!”
That’s my new bumper sticker!
Mr-Clark:
Enjoys negative attention?
How did my 11 year old son get on this site!
Though, he did offer this insight recently “If Dick Cheney and bin Laden met in hell, would they recognize each other? Or would all the flames and stuff get in the way?” And he meant that sincerely. Then our 7 year old daughter added “Where do they get the pitchforks down there? Is there a store in hell?”
Clearly, their religious upbringing is somewhat sketchy.
Servo: No, No, No!!! Freedom Fries, dagnabbit! Freedom Fries!!!!
Fukkin’ libruls!
hockeymom: You obviously come by your screen name here honestly. Only a 7 year old could come up with pitch fork stores in hell. You just made my day!
Mr-Clark: I will not respond to any comments you may make directly to me, as that is my prerogative.
Welcome to the next level of elitism. You can pick up your cardigan at th club desk.
Danny thinks it’s a terrible thing to waste Barry’s mind, or not to have a mind.
Does he think “Obama” has an “h” at the end as well?
uncletravelingmatt: word.
shortsshortsshorts: Yes, and yes.
WIDTAP - slightly off topic, but I’m curous about your avatar:
Is that woman having a tough time finding something? Or is she inspecting the result of a tragic birth-defect/work place accident?
Holy f**king shit, that italic Q is beautiful and I want to marry it. Can you talk about Quayle in italics more often?
festinog: Why thank you for noticing.
RaptorAvatar: You mean “Hobama”?
Thank you, thank you, Dan Quayle, for making us laugh at political endorsements once again.
I think my favorite Quayle joke was Carlin’s commentary on the 3 types of people. Some people are stupid, some are full of shit, and others are just fucking nuts. Dan Quayle is all three!

Mr-Clark: Do you honestly think I would deign to respond to one of your posts? This is the first time I have ever replied to anything you have to say because I get bored after reading the first few words. You are obviously just trying to use reverse psychology to get my attention. I have much bigger fish to fry on this site than you. And if you had half a mind you would have realized from my post that I intentionally wrote “typer” and “potatoe”. Eck.
American Dreamer: I still want to know which temporary overlord you are.
