Could it be?! Oh, that it be true! Dan Quayle, former veep under George Bush I, is rumored to be in talks to join the upcoming season of Dancing With the Stars. The show is lacing up its shoes to reappear on Sept. 22, and the cast list is not yet concrete.
The show has been angling for a political figure, and Quayle seems to be tops of the shortlist. With tidbits of fame that include his tussle with fictional character Murphy Brown, and the whole "potato/potatoe" incident, he might be a great asset to the show. I don't know about you but I'm making up a whole list of politicians I'd like to see cut a rug: Mike Huckabee, Nancy Pelosi, Henry Kissinger, Nicolas Sarkozy — I could play this game all day. If it's true, will you watch?

Well, it's not a spelling bee, so I suppose Quayle has a chance...
1LMAO! What a way to make a come back trip your way out and trip your way back in.
2I would totally watch. Kim Kardashian and Dan Qualye together on one stage; who could turn away!
3in that spelling bee, he didnt spell anything wrong. it was potatoe untill in the 20th century they dropped the E.
just saying.
I do however have no excuse for some of his other "sayings"
*The future will be a better tommorow
4*For NASA, space is still a high priority
*I love California. I practically grew up in Phoenix
Quayle was born in 1947, so the 19th century spelling defense shouldn't count.

I was thinking the same thing.
6Maybe Quayle will be good at something after all.
7I want to see him on Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader.
8Don't hold your breath Hypno, the man's got his limits!
9Quayle went to school in Indiana, they didn't get out of the 1800 until the mid 1970's.
10UnDave35 -- you should know that those of us from Indiana were totally ashamed of him during most of his vice-presidency! Definitely not the brightest bulb...
11haha at least you don't have 7 presidents from your state that do not have seemed to have accomplished anything... O-H-I-O!
12stefsprl - I grew up in Indiana. I was very ashamed of D don't know potato Q.
13He may not need to spell anything on DWTS...but he'll need to do some rhythm counting...
2, 3, 4...2, 3, 4...(picture that Dirty Dancing scene...)
I can't see him lasting past the first week.
14Somebody put Lil Abner to bed will ya?
15Quayle may not be a memory the GOP would like to have resurrected as we head into the final months of the campaign.
