The man's name is Kimberlin, unless my memory is failing me.
There was a long article on this in last week's _New Yorker_.
You should definitely read it.  

Whether you do or do not believe the initial claims of Kimberlin
selling marijuana to Quayle, and whether you think the use of
small amounts of marijuana is a big deal, are not important.

The main thrust of the article is the documentation of the abuse
of power applied to Kimberlin.  It covers the prison's having him
thrown in "the hole" just before his scheduled news conference in
1988.  It describes the parole commission's repeatedly violating
their own written classification criteria for offenders to
prevent him from being freed.  Lots more.  Scary stuff, but
unfortunately not really that surprising.

If you confiscate every penny that everyone earns over $200,000, you
will get about $60 billion -- That's assuming that they continue to
earn it, and don't mysteriously discover that they can find something
else to do with their time than work for nothing.  "Soak the Rich"
taxes have never come close to bringing in the projected revenue.

And taxes on corporations are nothing more than a sales tax.

A reason to be upset with Bush, but hardly a reason to prefer Clinton.
I can't believe the Democrats have managed to summon up the colossal
gall to act as if this tax increase was something they were against.
Bush agreed to the tax increase the Democrats were demanding as part of
a compromise to break the gridlock.  Spending cuts were part of the
agreement, but Congress trashed that part of the agreement as soon as
they got their tax increase.

Bush should have known better.  Congress pulled this exact same scam
on Reagan.  He should have demanded spending cuts first.

Yes, it was particularly funny, especially if you saw the bit on TV.  It's
for humor of that sort that I tuned to this newsgroup.

What is not funny is that it immediately deteriorated into a global
spelling war with only one target.  THAT is not humor; that is simply
namecalling; it is glee at finding someone making a trivial error.
Yes, the situation and the event were both funny.  The bad spelling

I'd like to know what you consider unfair about the article I wrote.
The whole point of the NY Times article is that DQ has a very poor grasp
of important issues.  I gave just one example from the article.

I wish the media would pay less attention to minor goofs like the
potato(e) incident.  They only detract from attention that should be
paid to Quayle's incompetence.  (And to the incompetence of the man who
thought that Dan Quayle was the best possible choice for VP.)  I think
the NY Times article is the sort of thing that needs more attention. 

Read the NY Times article again.  Then tell me with a straight face that
this is the sort of man you would want to have as president.

  The prez in last night's debate responded to the question, "How would
  you specifically use the powers of the presidency to get more people
  back into good jobs immediately?" with:

  "What I'm going to do is say to Jim Baker when this campaign is over,
  'All right, let's sit down now.  You do in domestic affairs what you've
  done in foreign affairs.'"

  Let me see if I've got this straight:  If Bush wins a second term, he's
  going to put Jim Baker in charge of domestic policy so that he is free
  to ignore it for another four years.

  Well, where does this leave Dan?  Congress de-funded the Council on
  Competitiveness, so what does he do in a second Bush term?  There can't
  be *that* many tie votes in the Senate.  Baker's got domestic affairs in
  his "In" basket.  George has foreign affairs in Europe and Asia nailed
  down.  And, by his own admission, Dan's Latin isn't good enough to 
  quailfy him for an assignment in South America.  What to do, what to do?

  I put it to YOU, some of the most creative minds on the planet:  what
  sould Dan Quayle be doing during a second Bush term (assuming there is
  one)? 

  PS:  Remember that story a few months ago during the Jennifer controversy
  when there was that hilarious accounting of Jim Baker playing musical hotel
  rooms in Switzerland in order to accommodate an alleged tryst between
  George and Jennifer?  With his assumption of the domestic portfolio, will
  his stage now be limited to the Madonna Inn in St. Louis Obispo, California?

I'm surprised I haven't seen this one here yet.  Dan's statement is
not all that pathetic (for Dan) until you see what question he was
trying to answer.

	Dan's answer:

	"Hawaii is a unique state," he said.  "It is a small
	state.  It is a state that is by itself.  It is a --
	it is different than the other 49 states.  Well, all
	states are different, but it's got a particularly
	unique situation."

	The question:

	Dan was asked whether Hawaii's universal health-care
	plan might serve as a national model.

This is from the NY Times, 10/7/92, p. A11.  The entire article,
titled "Quayle Speaks Just Find (With a Script, That Is) is worth
reading. (The sub-title is "Questions about Quayle's intellectual
grasp.")  Maybe someone could scan it and post all of it.

A Quayle aide explained Dan's problem as follows (same article):
	"That's the problem with being Dan Quayle.  Sometimes
	there's a data download as he's shifting gears."  
If anyone can explain this explanation to me, I would be grateful.

Remember -- a vote for Bush is a vote for Quayle.  Don't risk it.
