Quayle was a rich kid who was way out of his depth.Absolutely.....and, another frat-boy-Chickenhawk, to boot!!!!
The trouble with America's aristocracy is that while we pretend that they do not exist we still treat them like peers of the realm.
Of course, the fact that they run the country might have something to do with that.
They control (usually by proxie, sometimes by people like Bush or Kennedy or Quayle or Gore) BOTH parties, folks.
