Dan Quayle's son is running for office in Arizona.

“It was time for me to stop yelling at the TV,” said Mr. Quayle, 33, in an interview at a cafe here, “and throw my hat in the ring.”

Who hasn’t? The Republican primary contest in the Third Congressional District in this largely wealthy swath of northern Phoenix captures both the fluky quality of primary races in Arizona — in which independents can vote — as well as the everybody-in-the-pool nature of politics this year, with a procession of candidates caught up in a populist backlash.

Mr. Quayle is the exception. “I can tell you I never heard of him,” said Pamela Gorman, a conservative state lawmaker who recently quit to run for the seat. “I wasn’t entirely sure he even lived in Arizona. All we could look up was his public records. So now we know his first name is Ben and he passed the bar a year or so ago and he hasn’t voted.”

Still, it was his father who took it upon himself to announce his son’s intentions during an interview with Fox News a few weeks ago, something the younger Mr. Quayle learned about only when his phone began to vibrate madly during a meeting. “I know he was just being a proud father,” Mr. Quayle said. “But he did go off message.”

1. 33 and never voted?

Sounds like another wealthy, self-entitled little prick yet again. They only vote when they're running for something.

5. His daddy was the GWB that never was.

Dumb and manipulatable...good looking and white.

Perfect Republican president. Bush II and Reagan to a tee.

Betcha they're trying to rekindle that over and over.


God help us if they get it right again.

6. There was a quote from Marilyn Quayle re: GWB* that has been since scrubbed

from the internet (I know I spent hours looking for it around 2002). At any rate, Marilyn said roughly that those who thought her husband to be stupid had no clue--wait until they get to know the real George W. Bush*....


I wish I had the exact quote, but I think even the paraphrase says it all.

2. Ben Quayle: If Palin can be taken seriously, so can I!

Hope he inherited his Dad's "smarts."

3. Jeez. Another fascist twit to keep a file on. Do they clone these people??

4. How about enlisting Little Lord Fauntleroy

This guy surely has some wiggly bugs if you turn over the rock.

7. He's definitely inherited his father's genes

if he thinks he can win on pedigree alone.
