Let's Compare Sarah and Dan

Not so long ago America had a comedy punching bag called Dan Quayle. He was made to look like and considered a buffoon by the media. It mainly started after the debates with the famous quote Lloyd Bentsen said, "Senator, I served with Jack Kennedy. I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy," to which a noticeably surprised and unprepared Quayle replied, "That was really uncalled for, Senator," as both applause and boos were heard from the debate audience. It was all down hill from there. All from one statement made.

 

Dan Quayle:

• He then matriculated at DePauw University, where he received his B.A. degree in political science.
•  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.

• Became an administrative assistant to Governor Edgar Whitcomb. From 1973 to 1974
• Was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from Indiana's 4th congressional district in 1976
• Became the youngest person ever elected to the U.S. Senate from the state of Indiana 1980
• Reelected to the Senate in 1986 with the largest margin ever achieved to that date by a candidate in a statewide Indiana race.
