Dan Quayle walks out on John Mellencamp


Hmmm...it must've been something he said. Former VP Dan Quayle walked out of a John Mellencamp concert after Mellencamp dedicated his song "Walk Tall" to everyone who had been hurt by policies of the current Bush administration.

What was Quayle's problem with that? "Well, I think Mellencamp's performance was not very good to begin with, and the comment put it over the top."

Over the top of Quayle's head, he means.

Mr. Bog: We were going to say "Over the top of Quayle's potatoe head..." but we were afraid no one would get it. So thank you for sticking your "toe" in it.

Exigent: We were wondering the same thing ourselves. Apparently, the oblivious just don't know when to stay in oblivion. Are you listening, Newt Gingrich?

Exigent: That is priceless. The site also says that Quayle was "chairman of the National Space Council." Apropos!
