Reply #20: And this was the irony of stupid Dan Quayle [View All]

[question everything]

(yes, I know, redundant) going after "Murphy Brown."

While we, the viewers, were left in a cliff hanger at the end of the season as to which of her two partners were the father, she knew. It was the man to whom she was married before and was hoping to be married again, but before she had an opportunity to tell him about her pregnancy, he told her that "settled" city life was not for him and he was back to the jungles of Africa (I think) to wonder in the villages and do good there.

So, unless Quayle and his soon to be RWers expected a 40-ish Murphy Brown to have been celibate, what did they want her to do? Terminate her pregnancy? Instead she chose to continue and this, too, was not to their liking.

But then, again, Dan Quayle watchers are still searching for signs of intelligent life between his ears.

Hey, now I know why papa Bush chose him. Felt right at home with junior.
