1. Dickie Cheney, hands down
He looks like a rabid snapping turtle.

9. thats a great analogy
I've heard him compared to Mr. Potter of Its a Wonderful Life, my personal comparsion though is to a mean old uncle or grandfatherly figure.

7. hah
Interesting story about Ole Spiro, my dad grew up near DC and Maryland so he heard the ads, Spiro actually went by Ted Agnew when he ran for governor there, which is kind of funny how Spiro who I've read was quite xenophobic and made ethnically unsensitve comments would run on his real name.

Let's see, other than Gerald Ford, who didn't end up in prison from the Nixon administration? :evilgrin:

3. What would we do with President Quayle?
Of Course, Quayle's selection becomes quite understandable once we got to know the Chimp.

21. Marilyn Quayle was quoted.....
Edited on Sun Sep-19-04 10:28 PM by new_beawr
Telling the press that the Caricature that they made out of Danny Quayle was actually made real with the Chimp.

11. Cheney
He looks like a stereotypical villain in a comic book. Kinda like the Penguin.

13. Dan Quayle
Though he is a close tie with Spiro and Cheney.

Quayle combines a sub cretin IQ with rabid fundamentalism - how can you beat this?

24. Is Quayle any dumber than Shrub, though?
I remember thinking how awful it would be for Dan Quayle to be president, that America would be the laughing stalk of the world if we elected someone so stupid. And just look at us now! GWB is essential Dan Quayle with a fake accent.

Is this some kind of Repub strategy, to pick a VP who is scary or stupid or otherwise undesirable? Kind of an insurance that the pres won't get assassinated, because, God forbid, then we'd get Bush/Quayle/Cheney...?

27. Quayle is innately sub-normal
Shrub had to spend a lifetime ingesting chemicals to get to that point.

25. That's very telling--He talks out of both sides of his mouth
because he doesn't know which side is telling the biggest lie!

32. Definitely Dick
Spiro was a very nasty piece of work and a crook to boot but at least Nixon didn't hand over his entire presidency to him as * has done to Cheney.
