I doubt that Quayle will ever forget how to spell that word, after the humiliation he suffered over it. To be fair, the school had provided him with a card with the "correct" answer on it, spelled "potatoe".
Quayle was definitely not the brightest VP we've ever had.

x5To be fair to Pence: I watched post-insurrection electoral-vote certification, and I thought Pence did a good job. He understood history was watching; he duly rejected, with the appropriate solemnity, all the inadequate objections. Notwithstanding the monumental events earlier in the day.northland10 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 14, 2021 8:26 pm Vice Presidents have had to preside over the loss of the sitting President (Rockefeller, Mondale, Quayle, Pence) but some Vice President's had to preside over their own loss (Nixon, Humphry, Gore) and 2 of those elections were very close. However, unlike the disgraced loser, they accepted the role with grace and did what they were required to do.
For clarity, I did not mean Pence had not conducted himself appropriately that day. He did. It was more a reflection on the former VPs who had to preside over the joint session gathered to certify that that VP had lost the election for President, including in 2 close elections (and court case). Unlike Trump who was pouting, fomenting insurrection, and generally being a lying sack, both Gore, Nixon, and Humphry conducted a role that sent them to political oblivion, at least temporarily for Nixon.bob wrote: ↑Wed Sep 15, 2021 3:33 am To be fair to Pence: I watched post-insurrection electoral-vote certification, and I thought Pence did a good job.

x5I don't see any upside for Quayle to get publicly involved with this.Slim Cognito wrote: ↑Wed Sep 15, 2021 2:10 pm Haven't read it yet so sorry for asking, but has Quayle made a statement?
Every time a memoir by a former Trump staffer is announced it is marketed with words such as “bombshell”, “tell-all” and “scandal”. So far, however, none of these books have told us much we didn’t already know. Thanks to Lewandowski’s book we know Trump got his former aide Hope Hicks to steam his trousers … while he was wearing them. Cohen’s book told us – shocker! – that Trump said lots of very racist things. Taylor’s book “revealed” that everyone in the Trump administration complained about how badly run everything was. Nothing in any of these memoirs justifies their hypocritical authors getting a fat advance and a chance to whitewash their reputations.
Why are there so many Trump staff memoirs? The authors need to whitewash their reputations

Ryan tried to explain to Trump that, as president of the United States, he had a duty to condemn neo-Nazis -- but Trump wouldn't hear of it.
"These people love me," Trump told Ryan, according to Woodward and Costa. "These are my people. I can't backstab the people who support me."
