About this title

Synopsis:

Here is a collection of all the most infamous quotations of J. Danforth Quayle, 44th Vice President of the United States, including:

"I stand by all the misstatements that I've made."

"I didn't live in this century."

"We are on an irreversible trend toward more freedom and democracy, but that could change."

With Dan Quayle's bid for the year 2000 Republican presidential nomination, we are on an irreversible trend toward more comic relief. Don't miss a word.

From the Back Cover:

Dan Quayle--once a mere heartbeat away from the leadership of the free world--amuses, puzzles, and often frightens the country and the world with his verbal misadventures.

"What a waste it is to lose one's mind, or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is."

From his seemingly perpetual youth, to his rise to the most ridiculed office in the land, to his recent political renaissance, this is Dan's story. Sort of.

"Scares the hell out of you, doesn't it?" -Richard Nixon, commenting on Quayle
