Quayle also lightly brushed off suggestions that he is George Bush's version
of Spiro Agnew. "The President talked to me about that the other day,"
Quayle told a news conference. "He said, 'Dan, I knew Spiro Agnew. Spiro
Agnew was a friend of mine. And you're no Spiro Agnew.'"

[ed. - First, he was no John Kennedy. Now he's no Spiro Agnew.
Maybe he's Mr. Ed]
Actually I prefer Dennis Miller's theory:
"Some people say that Quayle is Bush's Agnew.
I say Quayle is Bush's Gilligan."
