    Holy shit Dan Quayle was VP over thirty years ago for one term. Amongst many other crimes, Al Gore allowed an election to be stolen from under him, Dick Cheney pillaged Iraq and Afghanistan for personal gain and is a strong contender for one is the most evil people to hold the office, and Biden is actively enabling genocide, but no, let’s focus in the doofus who made a relatively simple spelling mistake and then mostly went away.

      I didn’t know about any of this old people shit but reading his account of it he just read off of flash cards and then, with a group of other adults, told a kid he forgot a letter when the card read “potatoe”

      he wasn’t even spelling it, he just looked at the card and went with what it said, it’s not like anybody asked him “how do you spell potato”
