Moron but didn't hurt anything.

Inarticulate at best. I'm glad the media tore into this jerk. I'm glad that he'll never be our president. Was he insane or were his pants on too tight?

I love California, I practically grew up in Phoenix. Welcome to President Bush, Mrs. Bush, and my fellow astronauts. One word sums up probably the responsibility of any vice president, and that one word is 'to be prepared'. 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. I have made good judgements in the Past. I have made good judgements in the Future. I am not part of the problem. I am a Republican.

I was an admirer of Sen. Quayle years before he became Vice-President. It was exciting to me when I learned that Bush (the first) had chosen him as his running mate. But before the day ended, the Press began making fun of his name and saying he was just a Robert Redford look-alike. Those who have worked with him and know him are impressed by his intelligence. They're also surprised, because it's only after they're with him that they realize the Press invented his lightweight reputation from the start, simply because they hate Conservatives. This country could be turned around morally if the people would stop believing our dishonest and arrogant media.

what good he did as vice president was probably overshadowed by his presumed lack of intelligence. he probably looked at his best in the vp debates with gore and stockdale as stockdale looked like a very tired and senile old fool.

So, he wasn't a moron. He was a very active Vice President; one of the most active in history. He made official visits to 47 countries and served as the chairman of the President's Council on Competitiveness and the National Space Council. His record in the Congress is also admirable. In 1982, working with Ted Kennedy, Quayle authored the Job Training Partnership Act, which has been called the most significant piece of social legislation passed during the Reagan administration. As Vice President, he was quite out of his league. He was too good of a man, it seems, to really get into the 'game' of politics. I respect him for never getting discouraged when the media made fun of him. He may not have been the sharpest knife in the drawer, but he certainly was not a moron. The media had no right trashing his reputation as they did.
