Dan Quayle forming "exploratory committee" to weigh 2016 candidacy!

[Warren DeMontague]

Okay, fine, Aprile Fooeles.

[BeyondGeography]

1. Perry thinks he can take that guy

[Warren DeMontague]

3. You're right, I forgot what a fine roster they have to choose from currently.

With any luck it will be an embarrassment of riches, just like last time.

12. Perry on the roof? I thought Huckleberry Huckabee would be tied up on the roof.

15. Huntsman

really doesn't belong in the clown car at all; he was the only one out of all their candidates who took science seriously. The person who made this pic should've had Bachmann or Ron Paul in that seat instead.

[Warren DeMontague]

26. I actually agree.

Not having Bachmann/Paul in there is an oversight, and Huntsman was relatively rational, especially when he (gasp!) said he believed in evolution, O NOEZ. Might have to do with whoever was coming into SC at the time... Don't remember, but that was what I grabbed quickly in the limited time I spent on google images looking. There is no shortage of "GOP 2012 = Clown Car" stuff out there, though, for obvious reasons.

2. Welle done

8. Keeps ya on your tos

[3catwoman3]

4. You...

...got me! Good one.

Let's just hope it is only a joke.

[spanone]

5. his party has regressed to the point where that asshole is a genius

[TrollBuster9090]

9. Compared to most of them, he's a war hero.

Yeah, sure, he got his father to pull strings to get him into the National Guard so he could duck out on the Vietnam draft...but at least he showed up for duty! The guy who did the same thing, and then just disappeared into a drunken stupor someplace was actually elected President. And he's a hero by comparison to the chorus of chickehawks who supported him and his wars, but spent the Vietnam war hiding under their bunks in a college dormitory.

6. Mr. Potatoehead himself. ;-) nt

[TrollBuster9090]

7. Mr. Potatoe Head.... Oh, I see what you did there.

April fool's jokes aside, Quayle would have every reason to think he'd stand a good chance of winning. After all, the big scandal for Quayle was that he got his father to pull strings to get him into the National Guard so that he could duck out on the Vietnam draft. But now that we've lowered the bar on that, and had 8 years of a President who not only got his father to pull strings to get him into the National Guard; but then DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TO SHOW UP FOR DUTY, Quayle looks like a model of virtue. At least he showed up once a week to peel potatoes (sic) for the mess. He wasn't passed out drunk underneath a pool table someplace.

[Warren DeMontague]

10. Honestly, I've been sort of surprised he stayed retired.

For many of the reasons you mention.

Not that I'm trying to give him any ideas.

[TrollBuster9090]

13. Meh... Rich frat boy work ethic, I'd imagine.

The only rich frat boys who enter (or re-enter) politics are the ones that have some serious self-esteem issues, and have something to prove to themselves.

[Historic NY]

11. With the Tuber Party.

[OnyxCollie]

14. Oh, YOU!

Got me!

[lpbk2713]

16. Oh 2016 is going to be such fun.

As if the GOP clown car wasn't full enough already.

[lumberjack_jeff]

17. Good thing Ms Potatoe head packed my angry eyes. n/t

[Warren DeMontague]

23. I know

I bet she wish she could cut me down, with those angry eyes.

[Nye Bevan]

18. I think he'll ride the Murphy Brown issue all the way to the White House (nt)

[Jenoch]

19. This is one of the funnier April Fools posts I've seen.

Good one.

[lonestarnot]

20. I heard something about this today, and I was only listening with 1/2 an ear as it (the ear) was

under water. And no Aprile Fooeles.

[Warren DeMontague]

24. Very little would surprise me, anymore.

Particularly where the GOP is involved.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

21. April fool?

[RainDog]

22. ha!

[Cha]

25. Oh boo.. I had something to say

about that.

[William769]

27. I know who his press secretary can be! nt

[cui bono]

28. Bwahaha!!!

[TroglodyteScholar]

29. Augh, you got me!

My first thought was, "Please, please, please!!!"

[MADem]

30. If he ever did run, this would have to be his campaign song.....

[rurallib]

[eppur_se_muova]

32. This post is cruel to comedians ...
