I remember Dan Quayle was bouncing off the walls a little when Poppy Bush introduced him as his VP nominee (a particularly neat trick considering that, if I remember correctly, the announcement was outdoors). But Dan had an excuse. He was a young, up-and-coming but still surprise choice to join what turned out to be a winning presidential ticket. He wasn't the guy who'd just come in third in the Iowa caucuses. And I'm pretty sure that at no point in his acceptance speech did he go, "YEAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHH!!!"

note as well that "potatoes" is a valid alternate spelling, preferred by Anglophiles - yet Quayle was (and continues to be) hammered for it... whereas JOB is NOT in the New Testament, as anyone even passingly familiar with the JudeoChristian Book would know, yet Quayle's detractors gave Howlin' Howie a pass on that gaffe.
