Making Dan Quayle look like a Rocket Surgeon.

TL;DL version:  The NFL is being shredded for the abuse from it's players.    Biden praises former Senator/serial abuser* at Democrat women's conference.   Can you say tone deaf?

Wow.  I remember Bob Packwood, since that situation got a lot of attention up here in the PNW.

IIRC, he could have pulled a "Lois Lerner" when his private diaries were subpoenaed, especially since he'd moved in the interim.

Or put some really . . . juicy . . . tidbits in about some Democrats.  >:D

Hell, if the media wanted, nearly every Democrat in D.C. would make Dan Quayle look like a Rocket Scientist.  They ALL do and have made stupid gaffes repeatedly including Hilary and Obama-57.  If the media wanted to hound them about it, they could.  Since they are all Democrat mouth pieces, they won't.

Hilary should have been dumped on for lying about being fired upon by snipers if nothing else.

Dan Quayle was nowhere near as stupid as he was made out to be, but of course the media are by definition dishonest.

Either way he'd still be a better president than Obama.

No, he was a young conservative Christian which made him the enemy of the leftist media.  They were sitting on 12 years of Republicans at the time and everyone expect 16 or more.  Bush I made sure that didn't happen.  


I guess I have to add that I know little about the guy.  It is the leftist media character assassination I don't like.  Once the media decides to not like someone, it is amazing how many seemingly intelligent people pick it up and repeat it without even thinking.

I actually worked with Dan Quayle when he was with Brentwood Associates (he's now CEO or some such with Cerebus), They had just acquired us after our founder had sold the company, and Brentwood was merging us with a luggage company in New York/Denver and Bell Automotive in Iowa/Rantoul, IL and implementing us sourcing product in China from 360 Sourcing.   He realized that we were putting lots of square pegs in round holes, but he was impressed that we (being the OCP crew) were making it work. 

I was very impressed with him.  He listened to us and gave us what we needed to accomplish the mission.  Smart guy, saw issues and problems before they became issues and problems.  I'd work for him again.

I would have stayed but after having been through one corporate change at Pepsico, I got while the getting was good.   Turned out the luggage company and Bell Automotive (the car air freshener people, not the helmets) books weren't perxactly as stated and instead of increasing sales had been losing sales for years.  Brentwood later took a loss on OCP selling it to California Innovations at a pennies on the dollar loss.  The luggage business went *poof* and Bell Automotive is still selling steering wheel covers and gear shifter knobs.
