Dan Quayle

Dan Quayle is one of those figures history remembers more for the gaffes than the resume, and I find that a little unfair. Lawyer, congressman, senator, and then the 44th Vice President under Bush is no small climb for a kid from Indiana. Yes, the misspelled potato and the Ig Nobel cling to his name, but I confess I have a soft spot for politicians who stay human and a bit imperfect. He still keeps a personal site going, which tells me he has the resilience to laugh at himself. That self-deprecating durability is something I genuinely respect.
