PHOENIX — Seems like old times — Jay Leno cracking Quayle jokes on late night. But now the rising target of comics is Ben Quayle, son of the gaffe-prone former vice president, who is committing doozies of his own in his campaign for Congress.

Campaigning as a family-values conservative, Ben Quayle first denied then admitted that he wrote for a sex-steeped Arizona website.

The racy website's founder, Nik Richie, said Quayle used the alias "Brock Landers," the name of a character from the 1997 movie "Boogie Nights" about porn stars in California, and wrote lines such as: "my moral compass is so broken I can barely find the parking lot." The website, now known as TheDirty.com, recently reposted the 2007 entries.

Quayle said he couldn't recall what his posts involved or when he made them.

This came out just days after Quayle sent a campaign mailer showing his wife and two young girls, with the words, "We are going to raise our family here." He and his wife have no children; the girls were his nieces. Campaign rival Vernon Parker accused Quayle of "renting a family."

Looks like the potatoe doesn't fall too far from the tree.

5. What a great product of 'family values.' Thank goodness he wasn't raised by Murphy Brown

then due to lack of a father figure, he might have grown up to be dysfunctional, misogynist, of some other malcontent as suggested by Dad. So either Dan was as absent as Murphy Brown's child's father, or he just sucked as a role model completely negating his old critique per Murphy Brown. How ironic - or NOT (seems rather predictable, if you ask me.)

8. Nieces? Renting a family? Come on, this is far cheaper than that.

This is just cheap family mooching. What stupidity. Didn't he think anybody would find out, he actually ain't got no kids?
Well, actually if you think about it, it is part of the nukular family.

9. What is mind boggling is the level of stupid in people surrounding him.

Normally even the most stupid pol knows enough to get handlers who have some smarts. You gotta be real stupid to hire stupid handlers. Sheesh. Talk about the blind leading the blind.
