1. Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:) :puke:

[oldshoe]

3. A collection of VP busts!

Cancel the vacation to Sorrento, honey, we're going to DC!

How about a collection of busted VPs? Many qualify. There is probably space at Guantanmo.

[Flubadubya]

11. It's really Mr. Potatoe head....

or is that Potato head? Hmm... I guess it doesn't matter, it's still the same critter.

[He loved Big Brother]

2. ROFL

!!!

[lcordero]

4. Jokes? what jokes?

They are pissing good money down the drain yet again.
This kind of garbage should piss people off.
Screw all of this garbage, I want both the house and senate dearistocratized.

[dutchdemocrat]

5. I think

The next democratically elected Democrat government (2004!) should take the cloth covering Ms. Liberty in Ashcroft's 'fraidy cathouse and drape it over Quayle's head.

[dutchdemocrat]

6. Love the lead....

"Fairly or unfairly, former Vice President Dan Quayle never shook off a reputation for being dense. Now his head truly is made of stone."


I am sure the journalist had a blast writing that one!

[He loved Big Brother]

7. I loved that too.

Not even a whole sentence into the story and they're already being "fair and balanced".

[Tuttle]

8. I thought Askkroft had all busts covered up?

n/t

Tut-tut

[emad]

9. Always thought it's in very poor taste to consent to having a bust

done before one's actual demise.....remember what happened to Margaret Thatcher's monstrous 9ft statue that was dumped on London's Guildhall?

[SpiralHawk]

10. Ah yes, the Republicans have so much to be proud of

Dan Quayle -- yet another model Republican.

By the way, is he taking time off from the golf course to attend his elevation to the rank of Political God ?

Wouldn't you love to see Dan-O and Chimpy square off in a debate about the future of the Republican Party?

17. Did Spiro Agnew get done in stone?

If not, how come?

[Freddie Stubbs]

24. Yes, he is there with the rest of the VP's

[trumad]

13. Ya gotta love photoshop

[Flubadubya]

14. Look out dbt...

I did beat you on this one. See post #11. Then, look at the thread on the California conservatives. How funny... we Arkies are really thinking alike today!

[dbt]

16. Desperate Arkies, I reckon!

We have so little to amuse us here in the Wonder State that we are constantly trolling for laughs.

Touche!

:bounce:

[Flubadubya]

18. Yeah, nothing but to wonder...

[trumad]

15. The artist died before completing the statue of Quail

I find that very auspicious. LOL!! Maybe he did one of junior. 'eh?

[treepig]

19. i'm too lazy right now to select the cream of the crop to post

[mac56]

20. You knew this one was coming, didn't you?

[tsipple]

22. Dan Quayle: Bust

Only one little colon turns it into a joke. :-)

[dutchdemocrat]

23. Next thing you know.....

[Media_Lies_Daily]

25. That's his real head.

[Octafish]

26. Is it empty?

Hollowe, I mean.



According to John Kerry, Dan Quayle was impeachment insurance.

[readmylips]

27. Dan Quayle, head of stone...so what's new????

we already knew he had rocks in his head, do we now have to be reminded for life? Quayle is so stupid, he can't get the joke.

[kskiska]

28. Guess it's all gone to his head.

But seriously, Dan Quayle is an Einstein compared to what's squatting in the White House right now.

[underpants]

29. I've always held the belief that Quayle was a prototype for Bush

The most powerful families in America devised a scheme to create a leader that would protect their interests and further their worldview.

A labratory was constructed under the University of Chicgos football stadium and the first edition was produced. The Forbes family got first shot at it but the result was determined to be flawed due to some external "body" errors.

Next came the Danforths. While the outer cover was fine there were so serious troubles with the operating system.

The Bush got the next crack at it and it was a mixed result from the first two tries.

In the years just after WWII it was difficult to hide the funding from the federal government so they decided to try to sell the products they had.

The Bush model help the most promise to be marketable but some design problems appeared during its "early adult" period and the model was repeatedly damaging itself. While they were confident the changes needed could be made they needed time and they needed to "probe" the market.

The Danforth/Quayle model was introduced to the market as a means to both tweak out problems as well as soften the market to be more receptive to the Bush model.

It worked.

[stopbush]

30. The Bust was displayed backwards

with Quayle facing the wall - at least that's what Keith Olberman said last night.

BTW - the first two artists that worked on it died.

[SpiralHawk]

35. Oh no -- the Curse of the Quayle !

Touch it and you die. Two dead sculptors will tell no tales.

[lumpy]

31. Shades of the Egyptian empire !

Will the busts end up with broken noses ?

[noonwitch]

33. Is the head hollow?

Just wondering. I always thought Daddy Bush picked him to be VP as assassination insurance.

[rocktivity]

34. Um...why?

...The white marble statue will become part of a collection of vice presidential busts begun in the Senate in 1885...
Oh, that's why--it's a mandatory formality. I was afraid that maybe there was a logical reason.

If Quayle, with his verbal gaffes, spelling mistakes and penchant for the golf course, was often the stuff of comedy, his marble bust was the stuff of tragedy. The artist Frederick Hart died before completing it.
The perfect ending to a perfect political career. Par for the course when it comes to Quayle (if you'll pardon the expression).
