One card had "potato" mis-spelled with an extra "e" at the end. Quayle later wrote that he was uneasy when he saw that but assumed it must be correct since it was on the card. That is why he coaxed the kid into a mis-spelling.

      @brianmacker1288 8 років тому +13

      MaryAliceMaryAlice,
      "Brian Macker ...so both the teacher and Quayle are idiots."
      Using that reasoning you are also an idiot.
      Look at your own comment and your misuse of ellipses, and failure to capitalize your sentence. A 3rd grader could do better than you. Should everyone judge you an idiot?
      Quayle disputed the spelling but was told it was verified. So he did know how to spell it. Plenty of intelligent people are poor spellers because spelling is so arbitrary. A person's ability to reason properly and think correctly has no bearing on the ability to spell. Spelling isn't something one can reason out. It's not actually a test of intelligence.
      Plus leftist know-it-alls who actually land jobs working for the New York Times, Washington Post, etc. make spelling mistakes that get past layers and layers of editors. Are they all "idiots"? For example the New York Times has run a stories in which they used the word "potatos".
      The article titled "Why Wiseguys Like Cannoli" by Sewell Chan starts with the sentence: "We've heard of Christmas trees made of potatos, chocolate, and even butter cookies". This is the first sentence of the article and the writer and editors couldn't even spot it. The Washington post ran an article with the sentence: "But celebrations seem to have evolved past the simple enjoyment of fried potatos." Quayle didn't have the benefit of Microsoft Word during that spelling contest unlike the leftists at the NYT and the WP who wrote articles mocking Quayle over this minor issue.
      I just did a google news search for "potatos" and they do it quite a bit. I also searched for "potatoe" and these nose in the air journalists whose job is to write and spell correctly with actual editorial review have spelled it many times.
      I think anyone who judges others on simple spelling and grammar mistakes is more idiotic then someone who simply mistypes a "your" instead of a "you're", or "potatos" instead of "potatoes".
      It's a shame there are so many partisan idiots out there who blew out of proportion the quite understandable mistake of Qualye in trusting public school employees to know their job. Yet don't think Obama is an idiot for thinking there are 57 states, that Austrians speak Austrian, or that Hawaii is in Asia. Obama is so stupid he won't even share his grades with the public.
      The idiot Obama didn't know how car insurance worked. He confuse collision with liability insurance in one of his speeches. Yet all the stupid people (according to his man Gruber) who voted for him thought he was competent to rewrite the way the entire insurance industry worked. Here we are with the results. Insurance rates are skyrocketing by double and even triple digits. Apparently the ACA architect, Johnathan Gruber, is correct in saying the "stupidity of the American voter" helped pass the bill. Of course he was talking about Democrat voters because no Republicans supported it at all.

    • @brianmacker1288

      You guess wrong. Your standards are extremely low. Look at the punctuation on your first sentence. By your own criteria you dumber than a fifth grader and obviously not qualified to make decisions on which leaders and teachers are best.

    • @brianmacker1288
      @brianmacker1288 8 років тому +3

      Not what I meant. You seem too stupid to get this point. You have set up standards for DECIDING THAT SOMEONE IS AN IDIOT that are extremely low. Almost everyone will misspell a word now and then including the very most intelligent people. Not only that, you've done it on a word, "potato" which has been quite commonly spelled "potatoe" before the whole Quayle incident. Although rare you can find it spelled that way all over the place before Qualye ended up inadvertently educating everyone on the topic.
      Quayle showed some humility in being put on the spot by these teachers with their incorrect spelling. He questioned it because he thought he knew the correct spelling "potato" but they told him it had been double checked. So his quite reasonable response must have been to assume he'd been spelling in incorrectly all this time. That happens to very intelligent people, and especially with words like potato which are commonly misspelled with an alternate spelling.
      It was very common before Quayle for doubled checked and edited publications to spell it as "potatoe". Happened all the time. These were checked by professionals whose entire job is to specialize in looking for grammar and spelling errors. Yet we can easily find articles in the NYT where potato is spelled potatoe. Like this: "Two disappointments came in the seafood category. A dish called halibut peperonata was described by our captain as spicy, but in fact the timidly seasoned fillet came out with a latticework of roasted peppers combined with spinach and a bland carrot-and-potatoe puree." www.nytimes.com/1988/09/16/arts/restaurants-443888.html?src=pm&pagewanted=2
      If you don't apply these standards equally then you are just being a hypocrite and there is no reason for anyone to listen to you.
      Spelling errors and misspeaking are common errors extremely intelligent people make. They are "brain farts" and do not reflect on overall intelligence. I'm not saying Quayle was a genius but neither was he an "idiot". No more so than a candidate that things hard drives are wiped with a cloth, or a president who thinks there are 57 states.

  • @hotwax9376
    @hotwax9376 5 років тому +10

    What this video fails to mention is that Quayle was reading the "correct" spelling off a cue card provided by the teacher and knew it was misspelled, but went against his better judgment and remained silent. (This was presumably to avoid appearing disrespectful by correcting the teacher.) It's a "heads I win, tails you lose" situation: by not speaking up when he noticed the error on the card, people laughed at him and said he was stupid because he couldn't spell "potato." But if he had spoken up, people would've responded, "How dare he be so rude to that poor teacher!" So contrary to popular myth, the misstep wasn't his fault, and in a rare display of honesty the news media reported these facts at the time.
    Furthermore, Quayle may have been gaffe-prone, but so is Joe Biden. Not only was Biden elected vice president under Obama TWICE, but he's now within arm's length of being elected president himself in 2020. But because Biden is a liberal Democrat, nobody ever calls him stupid or unprepared to be president. When Quayle made this mistake, people said he was stupid, and when he railed against Murphy Brown for promoting single motherhood, people said he was a reactionary troglodyte. When Joe Biden said that "jobs" was "a three-letter word" and then proceeded to spell it, "J-O-B-S,", people laughed and said, "That's just Joe being Joe." The double standard is even more painfully obvious when you compare the treatment of Biden's missteps to those of his 2008 opponent, Sarah Palin. Charlie Gibson intentionally stumped her with a question about the "Bush Doctrine," despite Charles Krauthammer, the columnist who coined the term, saying that there was no single Bush Doctrine and it was only a catchphrase for Bush's various foreign policy initiatives. When Palin said that Russia was visible from land in some parts of Alaska, Tina Fey went on SNL and turned the line into, "I can see Russia from my house," a statement that Palin never made. But when Joe Biden said that FDR made a speech on TV after the 1929 stock market crash (despite FDR not being president at the time and TV not being widely available yet), few people called him an idiot like they did Palin. We saw an interesting contrast in 2008 between two bad VP candidates, one who seriously damaged their candidate (Palin) and another who came out unscathed (Biden). And don't get me started on Spiro Agnew; people laughed at him too, yet he won two elections with Nixon, the latter being a 49-state landslide.
    Perhaps the saddest part of this video is that they only talk to entertainers, not to actual historians or political analysts; otherwise they would have known these facts. If this is what the History Channel has become, then I'm not sorry that I don't watch it more frequently.

    Is this what passes for the History Channel these days? The English language is filled with exceptions to the rules. Calling the then vice-president from 24 years earlier dumb based on this is pretty petty. I saw eight years of gaffs coming from the president of "hope and change" from 2009 to 2017.
