Dan Quayle: The Voice of Reason?
http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archives/individual/2011_03/028501.php

THE VOICE OF REASON.... Once in a while, President Obama receives support from unlikely sources.

In a Fox Business Network interview, Former Vice President Dan Quayle defended President Obama from Republican criticism that he plays too much golf when there are so many troubles around the world.

Said Quayle: "I'm glad he's out playing golf. I happen to be a golfer. I think presidents deserve down time. And believe me, he is in constant communication with what's going on... I mean, what do you want him to do, stay in his house and be on the phone with the ambassador to Japan all the time?"


Ponder this little development for a moment: Dan Quayle has become the voice of reason in the Republican Party.

Did we ever find out what the code name was that the Secret Service gave to Dan Quayle?

I found out last week that their code name for Reagan was "Rawhide".
