I know it was Quayle.

 

HONESTLY, I think you should know better than to juxtapose the president with a monkey. People have used that as a racial epithet against the Irish and Blacks.

 

it is interesting that the media and democratic party always portrays democratics as intellectual giants and republicans as fascists or simpletons. bill clinton, al gore and jimmy carter were painted as intellectual scions while republicans (ronny, dan and gwII) are supposedly half wits. history will show who was most effective (or who committed less felonies in office) but until then we have to endure the elitism of the press.

all candidates make guffaws when addressing the press. the most attention seems to go to republicans. media bias?

 

Lucid, usually I agree with your point of view, but comparing the facial expressions with a monkey is just funny...there is no relation to any old racial things open or implicit in this.

About the press and Republicans. Yes it is very much a press bias. That is a known and open fact. The liberal press has always been decidedly democrat.
