I don't think Quayle could be too stupid and reach the position he has,
and besides, he's got the entire world listening to every word he says,
looking for a gaffe. (Some news magazine was making fun of him for
holding an RPG rocket launcher backwards ... big deal. That only
would've been remarkable if it had been loaded.)
Ronald Reagan made gaffes all the time -- "The bombing starts in five
minutes!" sticks out -- and all it ever did for him was make him more
popular. People could identify with him ...
