Subject: Quayle defends Schwarzenegger
Organization: LLNL
Date: Mon, 12 Oct 1992 03:20:44 GMT


	In last Friday's _USA Today_, the "quotes" section included
this gem, courtesy of Danny Boy. It was his attempt to demonstrate
that the Reps' good friend Arnold Schwarzenegger was not part of the
Hollywood elite:

	They just give him a script to follow.

	Just like his defense of his spelling "potatoe" -- he was
reading from a cue card.

	And I think that this shows that he is not very familiar with
the way Hollywood works; I'm sure that a big-league actor like AS
would have plenty of say in what his script was to contain.

	This can hardly be called taking responsibility for one's
actions, I may add.

	I may also add that Reagan was snickered about as being an
actor. Though this criticism is probably unfair to a lot of actors, I
think that there is an important point here. Reagan was very good at
being a script reader, although he could hardly be called a script
writer. Quayle seemed to be a lot like him in his defense of script
reading.

The most vivid image I have of the VP debates is Danny's flailing
about with this hands, an affectation he has obviously picked up
from his boss.  It looked like a bad imitation of Dana Carvey
doing his SNL impersonation of the Prez.  :-)

I heard the end of a story on local TV news on Saturday night.
The story was about Our Boy (ta-da!) making another gaff
while campaigning.

It sounded like the Dannster bragged
about how the recently departed Competitiveness Council
"saved" over 2000 auto-manufacturing-related jobs
in Alaska.  Research into the number showed that the
jobs which Our Boy claimed to have saved never existed!

Again, I only heard this on TV, so my memory could be
weak (I was very sleepy at the time).  Did anyone find
mention of this story in print; can anyone post
a summary?  I would like to know, because it would 
really distress me to spread false stories 
about the VP.  :)

Maybe my hearing aid failed me,  but I believe that Gore's statement was that
the Bush/Quayle administration was "like a deer caught in the headlines."

I thought it was rather poetic.

As long as I'm posting,  did anyone else note how the three candidates stood?
Gore was,  well,  stiff and straight.  The Admiral would blurt out four or
five words,  then back off the lectern and swagger around a la John Wayne.
And our man stood on one leg,  with the other lazily curled around from
behind,  like a schoolgirl waiting for you to ask her out.

Ariel
P.S.:  Ok,  I must make a short,  shameful confession.  Up until yesterday, 
I was more amused than frightened at the thought that Dan could have a hold
of the button.  But after watching the Admiral reminisce about his days as
a sovereign,  I can honestly say that what I felt about Dan was not real fear.
If Perot were somewhere around 40% in the polls,  that would have been fear.

None of the above.  Maybe 2% of all Americans know that or know any of 
the details.  Only a few political junkies and they have made their minds 
up by now.   
    For Mr. and Mrs America it means nothing at all.

Sometimes, one will see a posting in a flame war which basically says:

	Please, let's call a halt to this flame war. But before we do, I
	want to have just one last say. [flames follow]

I never attach much importance to such postings. Usually when I see one
I followup and flame the poster for being so arrogant to presume that
s/he can have to the last say, especially if it is a flaming one.

Today I logged in and saw a variation of the above. Instead of claiming
to be ending a flame war, the poster announces that he is new to the
newsgroup (that's the difference from the above style) and will soon
unsubscribe since it is not to his liking (analogous to saying "can we
call a halt to this flame war"). That's fair enough; after all,
everybody has different tastes in newsgroups. But then, just before he
(presumably) unsubscribes, he is rude enough to insult the entire
newsgroup. "Hi, I just dropped in by accident, but while I'm here I
might as well take the opportunity to say that you're all a pack of
wankers. Have a nice day now. Bye bye."

Which article, you are probably wondering, was it that I viewed in this
light? This one...

I read the article you posted, and I agree with you.  The posting was
unfair:  the article was MUCH harsher on Dan Quayle than the original
poster's summary was.  He (or she, I forget) found a good DQ joke from
it and posted it, and didn't bother with much of the criticism that
wasn't funny.

What did you find unfair about the summary?  I missed it.

I don't know how you can say Quayle won this one. He didn't make any
major Q-blunders (darn! I was *so* hoping the quotes file would get
some good additions!), but he was very excitable, almost out of control,
and he was not able to articulate any points at all except that Clinton
can't be trusted. Nothing on why the next four years will be any
different than the previous four if he and Bush are elected. Bottom
line, Gore was the only one up there who appeared qualified to be
President. I was watching CNN and their commentators, newspaper people
from around the country, unanimously felt that Quayle's performance
was a complete bust.

>Poor Stockdale.  He looked and sounded so uncomfortable up there.
>I kind of felt sorry for him.

I'd say that in the game of "exceeding expectations", Stockdale did
better than Quayle.

No, we welcome all kinds of Quayle-bashing, whether mindless or not.
We also welcome articles supporting Quayle, even though those *have*
to be mindless.

Excuse me, but haven't the Republicans held the Presidency for the last
12 years? Just when are they planning to bring us back? 2020?

I seem to remember a token meeting between The Shrub and Gorby in '88 in New

wouldn't characterize such a casual contact as 'knowing' each other...

   Did you see the nitwit who is trying to make something of 
Clinton's student trip to Moscow?  Not on UseNet, but out in
what we whimsically refer to as reality?  Apparently we should
put FBI watchdogs on anyone who has ever been to Russia.

   I think his specific allegation was that since the Russian
Security Aparatus contacted many foreigners that visited 
Russian they May Well Have Contacted Slick Willie (shocked

   While this is a little more complex than the Quayl reasoning
we all know and love it makes me think Danoe is infectious.  He
is the source of the nitwititis that seems to be descending on
what used to be a real political party.

   I knew a couple Russians once, am I tainted?
