I don't know if this news says more about Arizona or more about just how crazy politics have become.
Ben Quayle, the son of former vice president Dan Quayle, unexpectedly won his Republican primary for a House seat in Arizona on Tuesday despite a slate of bad press. Controversy enveloped Quayle after he was accused of writing for the site TheDirty.com under the pseudonym Brock Landers, which is the name of a porn star from Boogie Nights.
Campaigning as a family-values conservative, Quayle first denied then admitted that he wrote for the sex-steeped Arizona website.
Quayle allegedly compared his own physique to the Sistine Chapel and wrote things like “Long story short, on a scale of 1-to-10, I'm awesome” and "My moral compass is so broken I can barely find the parking lot." He also cut a campaign ad in which he called President Obama “the worst president in history.”
Quayle also sent out a campaign mailer promoting his family values that flopped when it was revealed two little girls in the ad weren't his children. He and his wife do not have kids.
Yes, this is where our country is headed. The likes of Quayle, Palin and Sharon Angle. Stupid Bible preaching lunatics.
ReplyDeleteAnd Dan Quayle was furious at the media for the story.
