Excuse me, but I have seen no evidence of any powerful insider
connections being used by Quayle.  So far the only evidence posted in
support of that claim is a suggestion that the opening that let him
transfer from welding to PR was a neat concidence.  When Quayle joined
the Gurad they had openings and anyone could have gotten in.

Well, this is just plain lies.  Clinton had his uncle who had enough
insider connections to get Senator Fullbright's office involved.
Slick Willie and his supporters don't want you to know that so they
lie and lie and lie in the hope that enough lies will fool you.

For another example, look at what happened when Slick Willie was asked
about his uncle's involvement by the press.  His first comment was
"It's news to me."  A few days later he admitted that he was told
about it months before.  He lied to the American people.  He did it
knowingly.  And he did it just a few weeks ago, not back twenty years
ago.

Let's add that Clinton seems to think that Patriot missiles were
speeding through windows in Iraq.  At least when Bush fouled up on
Pearl Harbor Day he was smart enough to realize he was mis-speaking
and correct himself without waiting for others to do it for him.
Despite that he was reamed in the press.  In contrast, Clinton didn't
realize he was talking nonsense until he was told.
