Yes, typical hatchet job.
I wish the kid well. I hope he's a believer (his parents certainly are), and I've always appreciated Dan Quayle. He would have made a better President than either of the Bushes.
Go get 'em, kid.
I didn't know John Shadegg was retiring -- not my district. I met him once and he seemed like a really nice guy. I have a pic of him with my fil.
What racy posts did Ben Quayle make, I wonder, but not enough to find out. I'm squeamish about that kind of thing. I agree with his view of Obama, but don't we all.

Apparently, there once existed a website that ridiculed some of Scottsdale's strip clubs and similar establishments. At that time, it is alleged that Quayle made a couple of posts ridiculing such venues. It is alleged that he did so under the pseudonym "Brock Landers," a fictional porn star in the Burt Reynolds movie "Boogie Nights." Quayle has admitted posting to the site, but not under that pseudonym. The website has since morphed into a larger, sleazier (though not pornographic) website, to which Quayle is not alleged to have contributed. His Democratic opponents, and the liberal creator of the website (who has no interest in seeing a conservative Republican elected), have called him a liar.
In my opinion, it's a tempest in a teapot.
My boss once gave me directions to some place I had to go to in Scottsdale because I don't know my way around Scottsdale. All the landmarks he used were strip clubs, as in turn left past blank and then go right after blank. Only he used a descriptive term I'm very uncomfortable with. I just stood there thinking, "oh, brother." I love my Mormon town. I know, I know. Mormons are completely messed up but they are really nice people to live with. Before the electric gate was finished, while they were still building the neighborhood, two nice Mormon young men knocked on my door, of course, the streets are full of them bicycling from door to door, while I was doing the dishes and I told them I already loved Jesus and talked to them about Him and satisfied them or thwarted them and then they offered to help me finish my dishes. I kind of fell in love with them. My representative is Mormon.

I know what you mean about the Mormons, sister: they're lovely people, which only makes their hideous spiritual deception more tragic. When I lived in Reno, even the head of the local NAACP was a black Mormon!

That is funny in a sad sort of way.

Yes it is, since the Mormons refused to allow blacks full membership until the middle of the 20th century! But this gentleman didn't have much work to do in his NAACP position: the black population of Reno was 2% at the time. The Native American Tribal Councils were the big thing.
