Dan Quayle Leaves
Bush-Bashing Concert
Former Vice President Dan Quayle walked out of a John Mellencamp concert in
Nevada this weekend after the performer took a verbal shot at President George
W. Bush.
Quayle, who served as vice president from 1989-93 with Bush’s father,
President George H.W. Bush, left the concert after Mellencamp dedicated his
rendition of "Walking Tall” to "everyone hurt by the policies of the current
Bush administration,” according to the San Jose Mercury News.
Quayle immediately left the concert. He later said through a publicist,
"Well, I think Mellencamp’s performance was not very good to begin with, and the
comment put it over the top.”
Dan Quayle is right. Mellencamp's musical accomplishments were great in
the 80's and early nineties but now he's just coasting. I think the
only ones hurt from the current administration are the democratic
leaders (hurt feelings for not being in power) and the terrorists (who
we are being killed and captured). They have a lot in common. Heh.
