Dan Quayle must be happy to pass that “worst VP ever” torch on to someone else.
At least Dan Quayle convinced Pence not to play ball with Trump’s schemes.
Worst is subjective. I’d argue that Cheney’s support of blood for oil and Halliburton rebuild scheme was far worse than anything Quayle did.
Yeah, same thought. Cheney was the worst because he was smart, competent, and evil. That beats incompetent.
Simpler times. He gave us these nuggets of wisdom:
- “You take the UNCF model that what a waste it is to lose one’s mind or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is”
- “The Holocaust was an obscene period in our nation’s history. … No, not our nation’s, but in World War II. I mean, we all lived in this century. I didn’t live in this century, but in this century’s history”
- “I have made good judgments in the past. I have made good judgments in the future”
- “I believe we are on an irreversible trend toward more freedom and democracy, but that could change”
- “potatoe” (when trying to “correct” a 12-yr old’s spelling of “potato”)
i miss the days when the fuckup someone is remembered for was misspelling potato
Putting an e on the end of potato basically ended his political career and now Trump supporters shout “covfefe” because they think it’s somehow smart. I think about that a lot.
Or the fact that people largely see the photo that Dukakis took in a tank as the moment HW Bush won the 88 election - compared to Trump’s photo op in a Fire Truck…
