Ben Quayle, the son of the tongue-tied politician, is running for a congressional seat in Arizona.
"Barack Obama is the worst president in history." Quayle's generation will "inherit a weakened country," he said in a campaign ad.
"I love Arizona. I was raised right. Somebody has to go to Washington and knock the hell out of the place."
Of course, Quayle's father was known for his memorable public speaking errors, including misspelling "potato" at an event for school children and quotes like these:
"What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is," Quayle said.
"Republicans understand the importance of bondage between a mother and child," he said at another event.
Many people may rank Quayle's dad as one of the worst vice presidents in history.
During his four years in office, he kept the late night shows in business. It's a little weird that Quayle's son is making disparaging comments about any politician.
Maybe Ben Quayle is trying to distract voters from the fact that he was once a writer for a site called "Dirty Scotsdale."
The site posted pictures of club-goers in the city and then commented on their appearance or actions. Quayle's job was to find the "hottest chick in Scottsdale." Reportedly, Quayle may have written the column under the pseudonym of a porn star from the movie "Boogie Nights."
At first, Quayle denied any involvement on the site to Politico:
"I was not involved in the site ... the website is now a national gossip site called "The Dirty," Quayle said.
(I wonder how he knew that.)
Quayle later admitted he did post to the site after the story gained steam.
Politico also reported that Quayle sent out campaign literature of himself and his wife surrounded by several kids. In the ad, Quayle said he wanted to raise his family in Arizona.
The problem is, though, that Quayle doesn't have children.
Phoenix-based GOP strategist Wes Gullet said the website story will pose problems for Quayle:
"This site is notorious for being disparaging of women. If women voters, Christian voters and very conservative males voters think this guy is doing stuff that is untoward, it will have a huge impact and could easily cost him the race," Gullett, a former [John] McCain presidential campaign adviser told Politico. "When you are caught and you change your story, voters don't like that. When you have nine other choices, voters have plenty of opportunity to pick somebody else."
