Best Answer

George Herbert walker bush was going to be indicted for his involvement in the Iran contra scandal, which he quarterbacked from the Reagan whitehouse due to his connections from his previous post as director of the central intelligence agency. In order to stimie democratic opponents who planned to subpoena him for testimony, he chose Dan Quayle - an incompetent congressman whose ideological and social positions horrified democrats - as his vice presidential pick. This worked perfectly
