Controversy Over Quayle’s Nomination
There seems to be some question about whether Quayle is smart enough to be President. After all, he was smart enough to know when to call his father!
What more cynical example do we need on how power corrupts and about Bush’s value on competence and personal integrity in his administration? One fact emerges--they are very good at “damage control,” in which they have had unprecedented experience.
I keep asking myself, does the electorate really deserve such continued mediocrity in government?
