Ben Quayle's Creepy Campaign Ad - Is Ben Okay?

Remember Dan "Potatoe" Quayle, America's Vice President under George H.W. Bush? Dude was a national joke in the same way Sarah Palin is today to half of America, except he wasn't as savvy when it came to making up words and selling books.

Turns out Quayle's kid, Ben, is all grown up and running for Congress in Arizona, where he has released a campaign video in which he calls President Obama "the worst President in history." In history! Wow! That's a loaded statement right there, Ben, isn't it?

But let's not get political over here, right? Let's just stick to the stuff Urlesque knows best -- painfully awkward videos. This one just happens to come in the form of an approved message by a political gunner who randomly ducks for cover in his own campaign video like an invisible President is about to punch him in the kisser.

He didn't "duck" for cover, he was standing up. I do believe your "bias" is showing.

AOL IS SO BIASED! He isn't ducking for cover. He is standing there, facing the public. Although he makes some big accusations, which i agree with, most liberals are gonna bash him. At least he didn't kill a girl; with no punishment. And he didn't lie under oath. That's a big turnoff in a president for me. Not to mention Obama is cutting the military budget, but choosing to sue a state, arizona, for actually enforcing a federal law. As Monica said, "The democrats left a sour taste in my mouth", and its obvious which side AOL likes.

robert it would help if you got your facts from a reliable source not fox news and the republican party who wouldn't know the truth if it bit them in the butt. the President did not cut the military budget but increased it. also the states cannot supercede federal law. you and the republican war mongers leave a bad taste in my mouth always looking to start wars some where in the world. then when our vets come home they treat them like garbage. all they pay is lip service.

I don't think the ad is "creepy" so much as "crazy". Come on guys, his father was a laughing stock, and he is just following in Daddy's footsteps. Also, for all of you who are posting things about democrats as "Satan worshippers," it's obvious you're just as crazy as your buddy's video.

Definitely in the the genes and blood line..this one is another messed up nut case, Quale you are an angry, attention desparate mess. If you were a real American, you would support our courageous president. Palin has a room available, go up there.

AOL continues to go out of their way to find ex-spurts (intentional) for their political commentary. Our writer her should keep to what he knows -- "Eliot is a writer and comedian, and also the nerd behind the site My Parents Were Awesome." Funny now Eliot but November is a comin'.

Quayle is right. O'Bama is the worst President in History and far surpasses Jimmy Carter in modern times. He has taken us so far into debt and Socialism that it will take a decade or two just to get out of it all. And he keeps on spending and coming up with more plans that are putting us farther under and chasing jobs out of the country that will never return. Now he wants Illegals and convicted criminals to be able to vote so the Democrats can stay in power! What happened to our Constitution and the rule of Law? Wake up people,we can get things back on course in the next 2 elections and get rid of the causes of our ruin.

i thought it was a good ad. he was just moving from a sitting to a standing position. arizona has the right idea. if the government refuses to enforce the federal law the state should do it. besides it is common knowledge that law enforcement officers throughout the u.s. have the right to arrest anyone who isn't able to provide identification. anyone. if you have nothing to hide whats the big deal?

For me it's a toss-up between obama and lincoln as the worst president in history. They are both from the same state and obama is turning out to be the dictator lincoln was, he just isn't responsible for the deaths of over a million people as of yet as was lincoln.

I can understand why a liberal obama worshipper would find this ad " creepy ", the truth hurts.

Another wooden, humorless, angry, uber rightwingnut "maverick" from Arizona. Who would have thunk it?
He'll roll into D.C. with his sleeves rolled up, boots on, ready to kick ass, I'm sure of it. He'll take on the establishment. It's not that he's a political insider from a powerful wealthy politically connected family or anything.
Oh that's right, he is.
