No, the point is that people like you keep missing the point. The "potato"
gaffe means little in and of itself. It's part of a PATTERN of slip-ups
and just plain stupid statements that prove that this guy has no business
being anywhere near the top levels of power in this country.

A classy little speech, true, but an exit? I'm not so sure. Remember
he also said "Bill Clinton will be the president for the next four years."
Don't be surprised if Danny has some ambition up his sleeve.

In other words it failed every election, except one, in the last 36 years
in which the incumbent party was defeated. So the only year in that time
frame that this "formula" predicted a change of parties was 1980. Sounds
like they need some more reliable economic indicators.

   Fat chance.  The Former Vice Presidentress is about as popular as

According to the _Post_, there have only been two First Cats since
1932...Ford's (no name given) and Carter's (Misty Malarky Yin Yang).
Probably not a good omen. They also said that Coolidge had an orange
tabby named Tiger. Andrew Johnson had some mice, Woodrow Wilson had
a sheep that he grazed on the South Lawn, and Teddy Roosevelt owned
some ferrets and a kangaroo.

The _Post_ also said that the Clinton's press secretrary has 
announced that Socks won't be writing any books. I suppose this
was a wise move...if a man's dog is his greatest admirer, than
his cat is his severest critic. Even so, this kind of censorship
leaves a bad taste in my mouth...it's legal, though, since the
Bill of Rights only applies to humans.

ObQuayle: When Dan Quayle visited South America, one country (I forget
which) gave him a baby jaguar as a gift. At first, he said that he'd
donate it to a zoo, but it turned out that he couldn't, because of
some obscure rule about importation of endangered species. He wound 
up giving it back.

One of the most enjoyable things about this newsgroup has been dealing
with the Quayle Apologists, who mistakenly believed that the "f" in
a.f.d-q meant "fan" rather than flame.  I'd like to take you back just 
a few weeks to a famous tagline:

From jswitzer@netcom.com:

     50 years from now no one will remember 
     Murphy Brown but every school child
     will have learned about President Quayle!

So, should Mr. Switzer's prognostications be (ha!) accurate,
what scenario do you think would ensure this?  Consider...

President Clinton struggles with the economy.
It stays broken.
He tries more and more fixes.
It stays broken.
Secretary of State Carter is kidnapped by Iraqis.
Secretary of Commerce Perot quits.
Supreme Court Justice Cuomo makes faces at Justice Thomas.
More term limits bills passes in '94.
Many Democrats thrown out of Congress.
Jack Kemp enters the race for '96.
He's leading.
The Republicans are unified and happy.
He's assassinated.
Pat Buchanan is the only other candidate  with a following, since Kemp's
  followers are so demoralized.
And riding in to save the Republican's keister from another rout is...
Dare I say it?
Oh, go ahead.

PGA star and ex-vice president Dan Quayle.

Right conclusion, wrong numbers. 

According to our paper today, exit polling showed that Perot hurt Clinton
more in states Clinton won, and Bush more in states Bush won.  If Perot
had not been on the ballot, probably the only change would have been Bush
winning Ohio.

  Remember, when this story broke, the Bush campaign claimed that it was the
  work of "low level officials" at the State Department.  Now, the guilty low
  level official has finally been identified:  Assistant Secretary of State
  Elizabeth Tamposi.  

  I guess that this must mean that the State Department switchboard operator

  In view of this title inflation, what can we make of the following:

                  Vice President Dan Quayle

Yah, in case you missed it
(a) Clinton/Gore won the popular vote 43-38-19; 2/3 voted against Bushie
and Quayle boy
(b) the US Constitution is good enough for me, if you don't like it, you're
free to leave the country
(c) The Cold War ended, so you can drop the ridiculous paranoid red-baiting
fantasies
(d) for that matter, why don't you go sign up for the '96 Dan Quayle

Now that was a good suggestion.  I'd like to suggest the same thing for
Baltimore... we have quite a few areas that need to be fenced in to keep
the animals where they belong.  We could also reduce crime in the better
areas by restricting access to mass transit vehicles from dangerous, zoo
(or jungle) like, areas of the city.  It's already at the point where you
almost need an armored tank to drive through this town and its suburbs.

ObJesse-Jackson: [imitating his true feelings] "Ah hates da whites,
ah hates dem Jews, but ah loves bein' front page news."  There you
have it, part of the Jesse Rap, from the man who admits that he spit
into the food that he was preparing for white people when he worked in
a restaraunt, and doesn't regret doing so.  He's one of the worst racists
this nation has seen since Malcolm X.

When are you far-left-wing liberals going to stop picking on honest decent
men, who care about this country, such as Jesse Helms and Dan Quayle?  I
suppose that when you grow up you'll stop poking fun at decent, respectable,
people.  Enjoy the next four years while you can, because... we're still
here and will get the last laugh when Bill Clinton and Al Gore get thrown
out of office. :-) :-) :-)  So, for now, we'll just sit back and get a
few laughs at their antics... gee, it will be just like the Carter years,
only worse, but more comical.
