Being inarticulate and a probable dumbass is not scandalous.

I'm far from a fan of Quayle, but this was no scandal.

Let any pol or any public person who has not made a mis-step or stupid statement, please throw the first stone.

This is proof of media bias. Al Gore made five times as many dopey comments as poor old Dan Quayle, and Al is considered a renaissance man by press morons.

Not a scandal in so much that no one was indicted or sent to jail. Certainly it didn't help Dan Quayle's image during a tough re-election campaign where his ability to serve as VP was being questioned by many in the public. In the long run, it was really much ado about nothing. Quayle actually has some substance on many policy issues, much more than the current occupant of the White House.

I see no scandal in being stupid.

Being stupid is not a scandal- although butchery of the language is slowly becoming a republican mainstay. . .an old VP plus our present linguistically-challenged dubs. . .

I wish the press had dubbed this 'Potatoe-head-gate'. However, being a moron is not crime, and thus does not merit the 'gate' suffix. It's not even a scandal (though appointing that certified moron, Dan Quayle, to the Vice-Presidency was pretty scandalous).

not really a scandal at all; it just confirmed that dan quayle was the first mentally retarded vice president of the united states.
