This is something that could turn the election around. I was confident of a Barack Obama victory in November, until I learned this awful, awful information: Dan Quayle gave advice to Sarah Palin.
We're doomed, people, we're doomed!
Stop canvassing. Stop making phone calls. And for chissakes, do NOT DONATE because if you donate 15 dollars or more, you get a sweet-ass Obama-Biden bumper magnet. And you wouldn't want that, because OBAMA IS GOING TO LOSE NOW THAT DAN QUAYLE HAS ADVISED SARAH PALIN.
Story on Huffington Post
Some of Quayle's brilliant advice was:
Just go out and be yourself.
Wow, look at that intellectual rigor. When people ask for advice, hearing, "Be yourself" is almost NEVER ever said. Dan Quayle. Great Vice President, or Greatest?
Quayle continues his genius.
She has more executive experience than Barack Obama.
My Dad had a saying: It's not true until Quayle says it's true. So now we know it's true. On a related matter, does anyone know if I can call the Obama campaign to get my donations back? Because I just realized now that Quayle has gone and said it that we're fucked and Barack Obama is completely inexperienced. Unlike Sarah Palin. And Dan Quayle.
The article says:
He hopes Republicans see results similar to 1988, when the Bush-Quayle ticket went on to win.
Yes. And the American people want a presidency like Bush-Quayle. Recession and idiocy are the bedrocks of this nation, right? So if you need a parallel to McCain-Palin, just think: Bush-Quayle! They're basically the same! It's not 4 more years of Bush, it's 4 more years of Quayle!
More words of wisdom from Dan Quayle:
The question in 2008, is, whether we're gonna go forward to tomorrow, or we're gonna go past... to the... to the back. It's as true now as it was then.
Apparently the McCain campaign is also listening to Quayle when he says:
There is nothing that a good defense... can... not beat... a better offense... in other words, a good offense wins!
I think this advice is what is currently steering the McCain campaign, and is currently driving them to victory in the polls.
Also see Quayle's advice about Barack Obama's home state: Hawaii is a very important part of the Pacific. It is in the Pacific. It is an island that is part of the pacific. Much like Sarah Palin's vivid description of New Hampshire:
Damnit, Quayle, you just gone and won Hawaii from us too!
Barack Obama can have all the fucking pies he wants. Quayle and Palin now have a POTATOE (0 min 20 sec into video)
And that damn Lloyd Bentsen:
I watched Dan Quayle. on TV. I knew Dan Quayle was a jerkoff. Dan Quayle was no friend of mine. You, Sarah Palin, are exactly like Dan Quayle.
That was really uncalled for, Jack Bauer.
We're. Fucked.
Update: From GreasyGrant.
A new McCain campaign slogan:
What's the difference between Quayle and Palin?
Lipsticke.
