Drug cartels in Mexico, tax cartels in DC. What's happened to America? I love Arizona. I was raised right. Someone needs to go to Washington and knock the hell out of the place.

is this quayle kid a tea partier?

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2010/08/11/quayle-son-gets-harsh-on-obama/

because if so the thread title is about as coherent a message as i've seen from them

I know how important it is to put food on your family

i hate tea partiers. unfortunately i may be related to several.

you can love arizona, just don't love arizona

"Quayle recently ran into controversy after admitting to having posted on the controversial website DirtyScottsdale.com four years ago."

he looks straight into the camera and declares, "Barack Obama is the worst president in history."

what's with this. it's not the first time i've heard it. are right wing fuckheads just saying this because after 6 years of W Bush people started saying this about him (with the possibility of being correct)?

Quayle told a local TV station Tuesday he posted on the website on behalf of a friend to "drive some traffic."

similarly his Dad subscribed to Playboy "for the interviews"

me too.

yeah this is totally what's happening. rightwing loves co-opting left-wing rhetoric/tactics (see also: "that's RACIST!")

it's pretty amazing how racist tendencies are defended by calling your targets the real racists for not putting up with racism.

Perhaps continuing many of the same policies of the earlier worst US president ever also has something to do with it.

that makes even less sense

Except they think those same policies are the best things he's done!

i sure do hate those frat boys

in summation, politicians suck

Dan Quayle's son sounds like a real winner.

Looks more like Marilyn though.

"Since the beginning (DirtyScottsdale.com) three years ago, I have gotten the same question from the DIRTY ARMY from all over the world: 'Who is Brock from the Dirty Celeb Brock's Chick?'" he wrote, referring to a recurring feature on the site. "I have kept it a secret until right now... the mystery man is Ben Quayle aka Brock Landers, the son of Vice President Dan Quayle. If you are a DIRTY ARMY Republican, vote for Ben Quayle because he was one of the original creators of DirtyScottsdale.com which evolved into TheDirty.com."

A ringing endorsement for sure. Quayle denied it, telling Politico, "I did not have a role in founding that site." Pressed if he had been involved at all, he said, "I was not involved in the site."

He then released a statement saying he knew the founder, but maintained that "the assertion that I was a 'creator' of this website is false." He also said the site then "looked nothing like it looks today."

Quayle describes himself as a "lifelong social conservative" in one mailer, vowing to fight abortion and gay marriage, but his web site focuses more on fiscal policy than social. He was also involved in a flap last week when opponents accused him of misleading voters into thinking he has children.

The story took off, however, and Quayle admitted to local media that he had been involved.

"I just posted comments to try to drive some traffic," he told a local news station. He told another outlet he wrote "two, possibly three" posts.

He also acknowledged that he had referred Karamian to an intellectual property lawyer who Quayle, also a lawyer, was working with at the time.

Angered by Quayle's denials, Karamian has been posting on Quayle since, claiming Quayle had sex with a stranger in Karamian's house and asking, "How could you forget the crazy hooker?" In one post he wrote to Quayle, "I hope you rot in hell."

so Dan Quayle DID knock up Bill Kristol all those years ago.

the feeling I have when I read this is the purest form of schadenfreude I can imagine

Okay the whole thing with Rand Paul and that Aqua Buddha thing and whatever got a little stranger:

The woman who sparked a national firestorm by recounting Rand Paul's
youthful indiscretions to GQ magazine is now clarifying her account: She says she was not kidnapped nor forced to do drugs by Paul.

But she reiterated other odd aspects of her earlier story, including her claim that Paul and another college friend blindfolded her, tied her up, and told her to smoke pot and worship the "Aqua Buddha," even if they didn't physically force her to do these things.

The woman -- who was made available to me for an interview by GQ reporter Jason Zengerle in response to the Paul campaign's denunciations of his article -- said she didn't mean to imply that she was kidnapped "in a legal sense."

"The whole thing has been blown out of proportion," she told me. "They didn't force me, they didn't make me. They were creating this drama: `We're messing with you.'"

Though this is the bummer part:

In our conversation, she elaborated that she doesn't want her name in print because she's a clinical psychologist who works with former members of the military, some of whom are Tea Partyers, and fears that complicating Paul's Senate run could put her in danger.

what the hell

"but you guys these immigrants have nothing to worry about if they're NOT illegal, so why does it matter if they're profiled?"

I was arguing on a facebook thread yesterday on this topic and got called a "Mexican" because of my last name even though it's Italian

said she didn't mean to imply that she was kidnapped "in a legal sense."

She might be surprised. From my experience serving on a county grand jury, the elements needed to merit a kidnap charge are pretty low.
