Was that "Mainer" or "Minger"? (UK joke - nearly).
Story is that Old George had Dan Quayle as his VP only because Young George was too stupid to stand. Is that correct? Also, the CIA were under instructions that if Old George had a heart attack their first job was to shoot Quayle.
I know, people who live in glass houses (we elected Thatcher AND Blair) should not have a crap with the light on, but it does show that we may differ in size from the US of A but we can be just as stupid when it comes to voting!
