He was relentlessly ridiculed in the press as soon as he was announced as the selection to be Bush's running mate, his every move was scrutinized. This was due to the MSM's decision he lacked "weight" to be the running mate of Bush 41.
As Vice President, he had a much publicized feud with Murphy Brown, who was a fictional single mother. Dan Quayle said that she was a poor role model for getting pregnant out of wedlock. His statements led to backlash from the media.
The incorrectly spelled word potatoe on a list handed him by an aide led to a humilating gaffe. [1] The liberally biased media played up Quayle's error while ignoring Gore's equally momentous gaffes: Gore referred to a leopard changing its "stripes" and misquoted the U.S. national motto as "Out of one, many" (It's actually, "Out of many, one"), as well as claiming, several times, over several years to be the "inventor" of the Internet.
