Dan Quayle

Source

• Born: 4 February 1947
• Birthplace: Indianapolis, Indiana
• Best Known As: George Bush's vice president (1989-93)

Dan Quayle was vice president of the United States under President George Bush from 1989-93. The son of an Indiana newspaper publisher, Quayle was elected to Congress at age 29 and in 1980, at age 33, he defeated Democratic powerhouse Birch Bayh to become the state's junior U.S. senator. Quayle continued his string of youthful successes in 1988, when he was elected vice president on the Republican ticket led by Bush, the sitting vice president under Ronald Reagan. Quayle's foes accused him of being an intellectual lightweight, and fairly or not the label stuck. His many verbal blunders were highlighted in the press, giving credence to those who claimed Quayle was in over his head. His most famous gaffe was in 1992, when he incorrectly "corrected" an elementary school student on the spelling of "potato" (Quayle instructed the child to spell it "potatoe"). Though he was tapped for mostly economic development issues, Vice President Quayle made his biggest splash as a champion of "traditional family values," especially after being critical of a popular television show that featured an unwed mother (the sitcom Murphy Brown). Quayle made an unsuccessful run for the 2000 GOP presidential nomination, which was won instead by Bush's son George W. Bush. He then joined Cerberus Global Investments, a private investment firm.

Quayle was the fifth Indianan to serve as vice president.

(b. Indianapolis, 4 Feb. 1947) US; US Senator for Indiana 1981 – 9, Vice-President 1989 – 93 Educated at De Pauw University in Indianapolis, Quayle worked in the family newspaper business in Indiana. In 1974 he was elected to the US House of Representatives at the age of 27. In 1980 he ran for the Senate at the age of 33 and defeated the incumbent liberal Democrat Birch Bayh. In 1986 he was easily re-elected to the Senate. From a wealthy background, he took a conservative standpoint on most issues. He was representative of the younger, conservative Republicans who came to dominate the Republican Party in the 1970s and 1980s.

In 1988 he was selected by George Bush as the vice-presidential candidate on the Republican ticket. Aged 39, his youth and conservative outlook gave him strong credentials for this selection. In the campaign, however, he was inept, and his image was destroyed. A series of campaign gaffes won him a reputation of stupidity, while his Democratic rival for the vice-presidency, Senator Lloyd Bentsen, made him look foolish and unsuited for such high office. Though elected Vice-President on the successful Bush-Quayle Republican ticket in 1988, he failed to throw off his image as an inept bumbler. He had little influence as Vice-President. He was not close to President Bush and he was openly despised by some of Bush's closest advisers, such as Secretary of State James Baker. Bush considered replacing him as vice-presidential candidate in 1992 but renominated him out of fear of offending conservatives and splitting the Republican Party by dumping him. In the 1992 campaign he compared unfavourably to his Democratic rival, Albert Gore. With the Republican defeat in the presidential election of 1992, he resumed his career in the family newspaper business in Indiana.

From a privileged background, with boyish charm and good looks, he enjoyed a glitteringly successful early career, winning election to the House and Senate at a remarkably young age and becoming an influential voice of youthful conservative Republicanism. He advanced too far too fast, however, and, as one of the least successful vice-presidents in the history of the United States, he became a figure of ridicule. He published his view of his career and philosophy of government in Standing Firm: A Vice-Presidential Memoir (1995).

J. Danforth Quayle (born 1947) became the second-youngest member of Congress in history when he was elected to the United States House of Representatives in 1976. He was the first person from the "baby boom" generation to win a spot on a national ticket and was the fifth youngest vice president ever elected in the United States.

Dan Quayle was born in Indianapolis on February 4, 1947. He was the son of James C. and Corinne Quayle and the grandson of Eugene Pulliam, the founder of Central Newspapers Inc., a national chain of conservative papers. Quayle received his secondary education in the publics schools of Huntington, Indiana, his hometown. In 1969 Quayle graduated from DePauw University, where he was a member of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity. He attended law school at night at Indiana University, Indianapolis, and graduated in 1974. He was admitted to the Indiana Bar that same year. In 1972 Quayle married Marilyn Tucker, a fellow law student at Indiana University. The Quayles had three children - Tucker Danforth, Benjamin Eugene, and Mary Corinne.

After receiving his education, Quayle had very few jobs before running for public office. From 1969 to 1975, during law school, Quayle was a member of the Indiana National Guard. Also during law school he held several appointed positions in the Indiana state government. Afterwards, he worked as an associate publisher for the Huntington Herald press, a family owned paper, and founded Quayle and Quayle, a law office, with his wife. In 1976, with no political experience, he ran as a conservative Republican against Edward Roush, an eight-term incumbent Democrat, for a seat in the House of Representatives and won, becoming the second youngest representative in history. Quayle proved himself to be consistently conservative on all significant votes, enough so that the National Conservative Political Action Committee helped him in his bid for reelection, as they had in 1976. Much was made of Quayle's poor attendance record in the House during the 1978 campaign, but the bad press did not affect his popularity and he won by an overwhelming majority.

In 1980 Quayle ran for a seat in the Senate against another incumbent Democrat. This time his opponent was 18-year incumbent Birch Bayh, whom he also defeated. Quayle had no difficulty winning reelection to the Senate in 1986. The term was to last until 1993 but his selection as the Republican Party's vice presidential candidate, and subsequent election, resulted in his resignation. In the Senate Quayle had again voted conservatively, especially in areas related to national defense. However, his votes did not always fall along party lines. The most significant example of his independence from the right was the Job Training Partnership Act of 1986, which he introduced with Senator Edward Kennedy in 1982. His bipartisan efforts sometimes put him at odds with the Reagan administration, but he was not concerned with the possible alienation of the administration.

On August 18, 1988, in New Orleans, George Bush announced that his running mate for the presidency would be Dan Quayle. The public, the media, and both conservative and liberal politicians were caught off-guard by Bush's selection. Outside of Indiana very few people had heard of Dan Quayle. The primary reasons that Bush selected Quayle as a running mate were Quayle's conservative reputation, his Midwest origin, his relative lack of prominence, and no doubt his young age and good looks.

However, Quayle also brought undesirable scrutiny from the media. During his speech at the GOP national convention Quayle made reference to his time spent in the Indiana National Guard during the Vietnam conflict, which made people wonder if he was dodging the draft. This investigation revealed that Quayle might have used his connections through family-owned papers to gain admittance to the Guard. The media then examined almost every facet of his life and career. Among the issues brought into question were Quayle's admission to the Guard and to law school (without the usual requirements) and his privileged lifestyle. These facts, compounded by several poorly handled speaking engagements, led some members of the GOP to express reservations about Quayle's appointment, but Bush never expressed any thoughts about replacing him. Despite the excessively negative media coverage the George Bush/ Dan Quayle ticket did very well, overwhelming the Michael Dukakis/Lloyd Bentsen ticket at the polls.

Once elected, Quayle was given several jobs by the president, most notably a trip to several South American countries to gather information about the war on drugs. After a short time, the media became less interested in the spectacle of Dan Quayle and he was left alone to perform his duties as the vice president. After two years of his first term in that office, many conservatives hailed Quayle as an excellent vice president and as a conservative who remains non-compromising in his political orientation.

Yet Quayle did not return to the White House after the 1992 election, as Bill Clinton's victory forced Bush out of office. Even though Quayle would no longer be the Vice President, his stint in politics and the public eye was not yet over. In 1994, he published a book entitled Standing Firm. Quayle announced in 1995 that he would not seek election in the Presidential race, citing family and personal reasons for his decision.

The only biography of Quayle is The Making of a Senator: Dan Quayle, by Richard F. Fenno Jr., published in 1989. Although widely covered in the media during the campaign, the best periodical sources on Quayle are political journals such as Congressional Quarterly Weekly Reports and the National Journal.

Dan Quayle left public life to work in his family's newspaper business as associate publisher of the Huntington Herald-Press from 1974 to 1976. He returned to politics when he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1976, serving two terms. He was twice elected to the U.S. Senate from Indiana by large margins.

George Bush astonished his party and the nation by choosing Dan Quayle to be his running mate in 1988. Quayle had not been considered one of the leaders of the Senate, but his strongly conservative voting record helped Bush to solidify his base with the dominant wing of the Republican party. Press coverage was overwhelmingly negative throughout his tenure in office. Though Quayle had some accomplishments in the Senate (such as passage of an important job training bill), media coverage made it seem as if he were an intellectual lightweight.

As Vice President Quayle gathered a staff of experienced conservative intellectuals who helped him stake out his own policy positions and he lobbied with his former colleagues in the Senate for Bush's domestic program. As chair of the National Aeronautics and Space Council, he oversaw a major study on the effectiveness of the space program and was an advocate of a manned landing on Mars. As chair of the White House Council on Competitiveness, he promoted deregulation of business. He also implemented a “privatization” policy whereby cities and counties might sell airports and other facilities built with federal funds to the private sector. He was considered a strong supporter of Israel and was a strong proponent of military action against Iraq after it invaded Kuwait in 1990.

Quayle played a highly visible role in the 1992 Presidential campaign, attempting to shore up the Republican party's conservative base by campaigning against “the cultural elites” of the United States. He claimed that journalists, professors, abortion rights activists, and Hollywood television and music producers did not share the values of mainstream Americans. He attacked the television character Murphy Brown for having a child out of wedlock and thereby weakening family values.

A majority of the American public disapproved of Quayle's divisive campaign style; in the summer of 1992 national public opinion polls put his popularity at around 20 percent, and 60 percent of the public wanted Bush to choose another running mate. His failure to spell potato correctly at a spelling bee (he spelled it potatoe) prompted the comedian Jay Leno to quip, “Maybe he should stop watching ‘Murphy Brown’ and start watching ‘Sesame Street.’”

Early life

Quayle was born in Indianapolis, Indiana, to Martha Corinne Pulliam and James Cline Quayle. He has often been incorrectly referred to as James Danforth Quayle III. In his memoirs, he points out that his birth name was simply James Danforth Quayle. The name Quayle originates from the Isle of Man.^[3]

His maternal grandfather, Eugene C. Pulliam, was a wealthy and influential publishing magnate who founded Central Newspapers, Inc., owner of over a dozen major newspapers such as The Arizona Republic and The Indianapolis Star. James C. Quayle moved his family to Arizona in 1955 to run a branch of the family's publishing empire. While the Quayle family was very wealthy, Dan Quayle was less so; his total net worth by the time of his election in 1988 was less than a million dollars.^[4]

After spending much of his youth in Arizona, he graduated from Huntington High School in Huntington, Indiana, in 1965. He then matriculated at DePauw University, where he received his B.A. degree in political science in 1969, and where he was a member of the fraternity Delta Kappa Epsilon (Psi Phi chapter). After receiving his degree, Quayle joined the Indiana Army National Guard and served from 1969–1975, attaining the rank of sergeant. While serving in the Guard, he earned a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree in 1974 at Indiana University School of Law - Indianapolis. At law school, he met his future wife, Marilyn, who was taking night classes at the time.

Early political career

Quayle became an investigator for the Consumer Protection Division of the Office of the Indiana Attorney General in July 1971. Later that year, he became an administrative assistant to Governor Edgar Whitcomb. From 1973 to 1974, he was the Director of the Inheritance Tax Division of the Indiana Department of Revenue. Upon receiving his law degree, Quayle worked as associate publisher of his family's newspaper, the Huntington Herald-Press, and practiced law with his wife in Huntington.

In 1976, Quayle was elected by a margin to the House of Representatives from Indiana's 4th congressional district, defeating eight-term incumbent Democrat J. Edward Roush. He won reelection in 1978 by the greatest percentage margin ever achieved to that date in the northeast Indiana district. In 1980, at age 33, Quayle became the youngest person ever elected to the Senate from the state of Indiana, defeating three-term incumbent Democrat Birch Bayh. Making Indiana political history again, Quayle was reelected to the Senate in 1986 with the largest margin ever achieved to that date by a candidate in a statewide Indiana race. His 1986 victory was notable because several other Republican Senators elected in 1980 were not returned to office.

In 1986, Quayle was criticized for championing the cause of Daniel Anthony Manion, a candidate for a federal appellate judgeship, who was in law school one year above Quayle.^[5] The American Bar Association had evaluated him as "qualified", its lowest passing grade.^[6] According to the ABA, "the rating of 'qualified' means that the nominee satisfies the committee's very high standards... (and) is qualified to perform satisfactorily all the duties and responsibilities required of a federal judge."^[7] Manion was nominated for U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit by President Ronald Reagan on February 21, 1986, and confirmed by the Senate on June 26, 1986. As of 2008^[update], Manion continues to serve on the Seventh Circuit.

Vice Presidential candidate

On August 17 at the Republican convention in New Orleans, Louisiana, George H. W. Bush called on Quayle to be his running mate in the 1988 United States presidential election. The choice immediately became controversial.^[8] Press coverage of the convention was dominated with questions about "the three Quayle problems", in the phrase of Brent Baker, executive director of the Media Research Center, a conservative group that monitors television coverage.^[9] The questions involved his military service, a golf trip to Florida with Paula Parkinson, and whether he had enough experience to be President. Quayle seemed at times rattled and at other times uncertain or evasive as he tried to handle the questions.^[9] Delegates to the convention generally blamed television and newspapers for the focus on Quayle's problems, but Bush's staff said they thought Quayle had mishandled the questions about his military record, leaving questions dangling.^[8][9][10] Although Republicans were trailing by up to 15 points in public opinion polls taken before the convention, they received a significant boost that put them in the lead, which they did not relinquish for the rest of the campaign.

Vice Presidency

Vice President Quayle bust from the Senate collection, the last addition to the Vice Presidential bust collection

The Bush/Quayle ticket went on to win the November election with a 53–46 percent margin by sweeping 40 states and capturing 426 electoral votes.

Bush named Quayle head of the Council on Competitiveness and the first chairman of the National Space Council. As head of the NSC he called for greater efforts to protect Earth against the danger of potential asteroid impacts.^[11]

Throughout his time as vice president, Quayle was widely ridiculed in the media and by many in the general public, in both the U.S. and overseas, as an intellectual lightweight.^[12] Contributing greatly to the perception of Quayle's incompetence was his tendency to make public statements which were either self-contradictory ("The holocaust was an obscene period in our nation's history.… No, not our nation's, but in World War II. I mean, we all lived in this century. I didn't live in this century, but in this century's history."), impossible ("I have made good judgments in the past. I have made good judgments in the future") or confused and inappropriate, as when he addressed the United Negro College Fund, whose slogan is "A mind is a terrible thing to waste," and said, "You take the UNCF model that what a waste it is to lose one's mind or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is."^[13]

Shortly after Bush announced the Space Exploration Initiative, which included a manned landing on Mars, Quayle was asked his thoughts on sending humans to Mars. In his response he made a number of errors: "Mars is essentially in the same orbit [as Earth]....Mars is somewhat the same distance from the Sun, which is very important. We have seen pictures where there are canals, we believe, and water. If there is water, that means there is oxygen. If oxygen, that means we can breathe."^[14]

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.^[15][16] Although he was relying on cards provided by the school which included the misspelling, Quayle was widely lambasted for his apparent inability to spell the word "potato". According to his memoirs, Quayle was uncomfortable with the version he gave, but did so because he decided to trust the school's incorrect written materials. Figueroa was a guest on Late Night with David Letterman and was asked to lead the Pledge of Allegiance at the 1992 Democratic National Convention.

On May 19, 1992, Quayle gave a speech to the Commonwealth Club of California on the subject of the Los Angeles riots. In this speech, Quayle blamed the violence on a decay of moral values and family structure in American society. In an aside, he cited the single mother title character in the television program Murphy Brown as an example of how popular culture contributes to this "poverty of values", saying: "[i]t doesn't help matters when primetime TV has Murphy Brown — a character who supposedly epitomizes today's intelligent, highly paid, professional woman — mocking the importance of fathers, by bearing a child alone, and calling it just another 'lifestyle choice.'" Quayle drew a firestorm of criticism from feminist and liberal organizations and was widely ridiculed by late-night talk-show hosts for this remark. The "Murphy Brown speech" became one of the most memorable incidents of the 1992 campaign. Long after the outcry had ended, the comment continued to have an effect on U.S. politics. Stephanie Coontz, a professor of family history and the author of several books and essays about the history of marriage, says that this brief remark by Quayle about Murphy Brown "kicked off more than a decade of outcries against the 'collapse of the family.'"^[17] In 2002, Candice Bergen, the actress who played Brown, said "I never have really said much about the whole episode, which was endless, but his speech was a perfectly intelligent speech about fathers not being dispensable and nobody agreed with that more than I did."^[18]

1992 election

During the 1992 election, Bush and Quayle were challenged in their bid for reelection by the Democratic ticket of Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton and Tennessee Senator Al Gore, as well as the independent ticket of Texas businessman Ross Perot and retired Admiral James Stockdale.

As Bush lagged in the polls in the weeks preceding the August 1992 Republican National Convention, some Republican strategists (led by Secretary of State James Baker), viewed Quayle as a liability to the ticket and pushed for his replacement.^[19] Quayle survived the challenge and secured renomination.^[20]

Quayle faced off against Gore and Stockdale in the vice-presidential debate on October 13, 1992. Quayle attempted to avoid the one-sided outcome of his debate with Lloyd Bentsen four years earlier by staying on the offensive. Quayle criticized Gore's book Earth in the Balance with specific page references, though his claims were subsequently criticized for inaccuracy.^[21] Quayle's closing argument sharply asked voters "Do you really believe Bill Clinton will tell the truth?" and "Do you trust Bill Clinton to be your president?", whereas Gore and Stockdale talked more about the policies and philosophies they espoused.^[22] Republican loyalists were largely relieved and pleased with Quayle's performance, and the Vice President's camp attempted to portray it as an upset triumph against a veteran debater. However, post-debate polls were mixed on whether Gore or Quayle had won.^[23] It ultimately proved to be a minor factor in the election, which Bush and Quayle would subsequently lose.

Post-vice presidency

Quayle considered but decided against running for Governor of Indiana in 1996.^[24]

He declined to run for the 1996 Republican presidential nomination, citing health problems related to phlebitis.^[24]

In April 1999, he announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for 2000, attacking George W. Bush by saying "we do not want another candidate who needs on-the-job training". In the first contest among the Republican candidates, the Ames Straw Poll of August 1999, he finished eighth. Commentators said that while he had the most political experience among prospective candidates (over Bush and Bob Dole) and potential grassroots support among conservatives, his campaign was hampered by the legacy of his vice-presidency. He withdrew from the race the following month and supported Bush.^[24]

It was reported in the May 5, 2007 issue of The New York Times in an article about a lawsuit filed by Greg LeMond against Timothy Blixseth, that Dan Quayle and Bill Gates both have homes in the Yellowstone Club, a Rocky Mountains ski and golf club located near Big Sky, Montana, just north of Yellowstone National Park.^[25]

Dan Quayle is Chairman of an international division of Cerberus Capital Management, a multi-billion dollar private equity firm, and president of Quayle and Associates. He is an Honorary Trustee Emeritus of the Hudson Institute.

Quayle authored a memoir, Standing Firm, which became a bestseller. His second book, The American Family: Discovering the Values that Make Us Strong, was published in the spring of 1996 and a third book, Worth Fighting For, in 1999. Quayle writes a nationally syndicated newspaper column, serves on a number of corporate boards, chairs several business ventures, and was chairman of Campaign America, a national political action committee. As chairman of the international advisory board of Cerberus Capital Management, he recruited former Canadian prime minister Brian Mulroney, who would have been installed as chairman if Cerberus had successfully acquired Air Canada.

The Quayles live in Paradise Valley, Arizona. Quayle, then working as an investment banker in Phoenix, was mentioned as a candidate for Governor of Arizona prior to the 2002 election,^[26] but he declined to run.

Dan Quayle signed the statement of principles of the Project for the New American Century.

The Dan Quayle Center and Museum is located in Huntington, Indiana, and features information on Quayle and all U.S. vice presidents.
