-
- I LOVE it! You guys are so intent on spewing your venom on anyone or anything
- that even comes close to liking Dan Quayle that you lie and misquote with
- wild abandon, and you don't even bother to hide it. I also love how you
- claim Dan Quayle fans don't have a sense of humor, but then you show
- how clueless you are by failing to show that you can pick up even on the
- most obvious satire!
-
- What I said in a.f.d-b was not what YOU claim I said but that I was curious
- as to how Barry voted; this was simply because Barry skewered each of the
- three main candidates, but saved his main barbs for Clinton. And of course,
- Dave has said numerous times "I'll keep Dan Quayle."
-
- Let me translate that for you, Maddi, since you seem incapable of understanding
- any humor except that which mirrors your own in its venom and vindictiveness -
- Barry would keep Quayle because he protected Bush against assassination. This
- is why Barry said he would revise the Constitution (with crayon) to make
- Quayle the permanent Veep.
-
- Well, I understand why you guys are so hysterically intent (pun intended) on
- attacking Quayle - this is all you can do, and you don't have much time left
- to do it. But if you're going to lie and misquote, at least have the courtesy
- to hide it a bit.
