While checking Snopes.com to see whether an email I received was a known urban legend (it had that feel) I happened upon the section devoted to Dan Quayle. While reading and laughing at a list of quotes that the site says are mostly true, it occurred to me that one major legacy George H.W. Bush left this country is inarticulate speech. While the man himself was by no means a great orator, it is not his grammar and speech that is remembered. Yet, he brought to prominence in this country first Dan Qualye and later (and arguably more his fault) his son George W. Bush. While he is credited with “Voodoo economics,” “read my lips, no new taxes,” the discovery of scanning in grocery stores and, more substantially, victory in the first Gulf War, it is for his contribution to language via Dan “potatoe” Quayle and his son “W” that many now remember him most.
