Harris is just the latest vice president to learn the job is ripe for ridicule.

By the time he took office, Quayle’s image as an intellectual lightweight and serial bumbler was sealed. He took on the fictional Murphy Brown and her decision to have a baby out of wedlock, then made a mash of the word “potato.” That only reinforced the worst many believed about Bush’s understudy.

Bush was ushered into the 1988 presidential campaign by a Newsweek magazine cover calling him a “wimp,” but remade his reputation by prevailing in a fierce fight for the nomination and delivering a soaring speech at the Republican National Convention. Quaylewho fared poorly in a 2020 bid for president

Sad for you.

Yes, and I remember that Quayle wasn't subject to the racism and sexism that V P. Harris is. How unsurprising that a white man wrote this.

Oh for Christ’s sake

Ok. I am getting tissues to cry for the guy who added an “e” at the end of “potato” to correct a little kid. And was laughed at for it. Once. Never should’ve happened to a white 🍆. Sob, sob! Still hurts after 30 years!

Good grief stop with the TrashJournalism

I got $50 that says you're trying to recruit Sam Stein.

Jesus H Christ. The absurdity of this argument is astounding-but she’s a black woman so I guess we should expect it. Stop it, media.

The LA Horse Paste Times is getting started on ratfcvking her campaign 7 years early.

Potatoe

So the guy that was dumb as a post was treated unfairly huh

'If you think a highly vetted Black/Indian woman being criticized by fictionalists for following modern technology security suggestions has it rough, here is a republican idiot who was so unbearably stupid that he tried to correct a fifth-grader who properly spelled 'potato'.'

Wth is the matter with the press? You are all broken and not worth reading.

Oh Jesus Christ. They just keep digging.

Are you kidding?

I’d prefer NOT to remember Dan Quayle. He was from Indiana, like Pense. Almost as bad as Pense too.

Really Quayle? Couldnt spell potato ive been ileagally helping contras Quayle? Compared to not using earbuds to protect our country... Hmmm NOPE not a comparison.

She's Black. And she's a Woman. That's all the qualifications the Dems needed.

Can you spell potato?

How do you think we the public felt having to witness his nitwit ass have a baby over a fictional character having a baby as a single mom character. The embarrassment of George Sr picking him bc he would sway the ladies into voting for him is why he was chosen. His ‘good looks’

OMG, I once dreamt of being a journalist, so glad I chose a different path because I’d hate to think whatever the hell happened to you and your soul could’ve happened to me.

Did Noah Berman ghostwrite this?

OMG, there is no comparison. He was a bumbling stooge. She's smart, over-qualified, capable and they keep writing stories framed diminish all that. The framing is deliberately designed to sabotage her. Stop it.

Oh? Can u tell me what pen he used? Did he prefer a Walkman or discman? Describe his laugh. Did he ever make purchases during an overseas visit? Were they *so* expensive? Did you speak with any of his assts. who hadn’t worked for him in 8 yrs and who couldn’t take any criticism?

Yeah sure, as if a white man will ever go through the same kind of scrutiny & bias as a Woman, especially a Black Woman. Last time I checked, men are not subjected to sexism & in the case of VP. Harris, misogynoir This take is nonsense.

I do remember and I still think the attacks on Kamala for doing correct things are bullshit. Any other questions?

BidenHarrisBro Yes I do. I not only remember potatoe, I remember how the media treated him better than to churn out negative articles every week.

Do you mean, look how people laughed at VP Quayle for being a dim bulb? And you equate that - no, you make that out to be *more* unjustly abusive, than the misogyny and racism VP Harris sustains?!! InF'ingCredible

REALLY? You went back 30 years to further the narrative? This is pathetic!!! PRAVDA

Is Bush/Quayle the norm, or is Bush/Cheney? Why ignore entirely Obama/Biden? Maybe your cherry picked historic examples highlight the most dysfunctional examples of our government, and should not be normalised.

This better be satire because I'm not clicking on this mess.

Stupidest thing I’ve read today. LA TIMES- FAIL.

Please fire ppl with dumb takes

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

No, no one wants to remember Dan Quayle and there is absolutely no reason to.

What happened to you, LA Times? Jesus Christ....this is awful.

You high as fuck? Stupid? Missing Mike Penis?

The caucasity of it all.... SMH 🤦🏾‍♂️

Dan Quayle suggested a fictional single mother was actively harming children. Dan Quayle was too stupid to correctly spell potato. Kamala Harris is NOT Dan Quayle.

Are U kidding? 🤣😆

Really LA Times? Whataboutism?

Impossibly awful take.

And Dan Quayle was an underqualified dumbbell, so the point is...?🙄🤔😒 SMFH

No.

Dan Quale had it rough as he was as dumb as wood, he never had to deal with racism, sexism and misogyny.. will definetly not subscribe to your rag

OMG! STOP... please STOP it right now. And delete this tweet.

You should delete this sh*t right now.

The whitest white man to be VP had to deal with racism AND sexism AND social media?

Who wrote this?

Oh wow, are you kidding?

Is this a parody account?

Let me know when Kamala misspells 'potato' or picks a fight with a fictional TV character.

😳 you serious right now?
