What a Waste It is to Lose One's Mind

Subjects: Vice-Presidents, Quayle, dan, 1947-, Humor

Description: Dan Quayle -- once a mere heartbeat away from the leadership of the free world -- amuses, puzzles, and often frightens the country and the world with his verbal misadventures."What a waste it is to lose one's mind, or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is." Originally issued in April 1992, when it sold over 20,000 copies, the book has been updated to include all of Quayle's most infamous quotations. From his seemingly perpetual youth, to his rise to the most ridiculed office in the land, to his recent political renaissance, this is Dan's story. Sort of.
