You’ve really, really just got to read the entire Politico story to fully appreciate the strange saga that is Ben Quayle, son of the former Vice President, who is now running for Congress in Arizona:
Republican congressional candidate Ben Quayle’s glossy campaign photos and polished talking points paint for voters a portrait of a longtime Arizonan, accomplished attorney and family man who will bring a “new generation” to Washington.
The claims reflect the small biographical exaggerations that often accompany a political newcomer’s first campaign. The reality is that Quayle has held three jobs in four years, posed for pictures in campaign literature with children who were not his and grew up in Washington with a famous father, former Vice President Dan Quayle, whose influential friends have given generously to the younger Quayle’s campaign.
But Quayle, 33, has had to confront a much bigger credibility issue this week after a blogger revealed that he had once been a contributing writer for Dirty Scottsdale, a raunchy, sex-themed website that covered the club scene in his adopted hometown before morphing into the national gossip site TheDirty.com.
At first, Quayle denied the claim, telling POLITICO on Tuesday that he “was not involved in the site.” But hours later, after blogs, news websites and other media picked up the story, Quayle told several Phoenix TV stations that he had posted on the site “to try to drive some traffic.”
He continued to maintain, however, that he did not post under the pseudonym “Brock Landers,” the name of a porn star in the 1997 flick “Boogie Nights.” [Pols emphasis]
Well played, Mr. Quayle, well played.
Your move, Mr. Maes. We have faith that you can out-crazy Quayle.

And comes only a day after his new ad which calls Obama “The Worst President, Ever” (which I always try to imagine him saying in the Simpsons “Comic Book Guy” voice”)

You know, for all the talk of the Republican resurgence, they sure are doing everything they can to ensure that they don’t actually win any elections.
Rand Paul and his “Aqua Buddha . . . “
Paul’s is an allegation
This is the TRUTH
You don’t run as a family values Republican with this in your past – then again, David Vitter broke that glass ceiling, I guess…
TouchГ©….
Haley’s alleged indiscretions with staffers?
You know, for a Republican, you are a pretty good guy!
I do value your input here, funny or somber, Muhammad.
Thanks 🙂
Carl Hiassen has tried, and succeeded, IMHO. It’s funnier when it’s real, though.
as Brock Landers??????
and,
” . . . [Benny], you’re no Jack Kennedy!”

If he wrote for the TheDirty.com, it raises an obvious question. Are there photos and who has them?
