Indianapolis’s born Dan Quayle, former Vice-President of the United States couldn’t spell and was(is) an intellectual midget (Per Richard Nixon). His most famous blunder occurred when he corrected student William Figueroa’s correct spelling of “potato” to “potatoe” at an elementary school spelling bee in Trenton, New Jersey, on June 15, 1992. Poor Quayle was mercilessly lambasted by the media. Figueroa guest appeared on Late Night with David Letterman and also was invited to lead the Pledge of Allegiance at the 1992 Democratic National Convention.

That did not prevent America, the “land of the free to be stupid,” from electing the DUMB Bush Sr./Quayle ticket with a 53-46 percent margin — by sweeping 40 states and capturing 426 electoral votes. America did it again in 2000(STOLEN) and 2004 by electing the thoroughly unqualified war criminal George Bush.

That probably explains why as Glenn Beck gets dumber and more weird, his ratings keep rising higher and higher. It also explains the Republican fascination with the “Turkey Killing” queen of Wasilla — Sarah Palin, who is now permanently camped in Facebook.com — dishing out green DEATH PANEL bile by the bucketful.

America (mostly Republicans) loves its ignorant politicians more than the brighter ones. The willful glorification of ignorance by the American electorate, Republicans in particular, is appalling.

Glenn Beck falls into the Palin and Quayle category — “blubbering, fraudulent baboon frauds who know just how to please their audience of racist, bigoted and illiterate Republican suckers.”

Watch Glenn Beck struggle with spelling below:

Beck: “There is a coup going on … it has been done through the guise of an election”

Beck guest UNCLE Broden warns of “eugenics movement,” “black genocide” that will show up in health care package

“Thinker” Beck: President Obama’s “radical advisers,” like “Communist” Van Jones, “are fighting a revolution“

Beck suggests that Obama administration will use bombings of Canadian pipeline to justify takeover of oil companies

Beck: “I think all of us need to be Gandalf” and stop alleged Obama power grab

The 1988 Bentsen-Quayle Vice Presidential Debate

DAN QUAYLE: I have far more experience than many others that sought the office of vice president of this country. I have as much experience in the Congress as Jack Kennedy did when he sought the presidency. I will be prepared to deal with the people in the Bush administration, if that unfortunate event would ever occur.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Senator Bentsen.

LLOYD BENTSEN: Senator, I served with Jack Kennedy, I knew Jack Kennedy, Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you are no Jack Kennedy. (Prolonged shouts and applause).

….and here is Dan Quayle mis-spelling “Potato.” — Mr. Quayle’s most famous blunder occurred when he corrected a student’s correct spelling of “potato” to “potatoe” at an elementary school spelling bee in Trenton, New Jersey, on June 15, 1992. According to his memoirs, Quayle was uncomfortable with the version he gave, but did so because he decided to trust what he described as incorrect written materials provided by the school.

He informed student William Figueroa that he had misspelled the word “potato,” when in fact Figueroa had spelled it correctly. Quayle then had Figueroa add an “e,” not only making it incorrect, but once again making himself a target with this misspelling. Quayle was widely lambasted for his apparent inability to spell the word “potato.”

Figueroa was a guest on Late Night with David Letterman(NBC) (Now, The Late Show at CBS) and was asked to lead the pledge of allegiance at the 1992 Democratic National Convention.
