Since the U.S. has gone politically conservative, and Dubya can't run for President again, I would like to suggest a winning Republican team for the next Presidential election - Quayle/Bush.
Just think of the entertainment value. This would be a far better comedy team and Martin/Lewis, Hope/Crosby or Abbott & Costello. European countries would welcome Dan Quayle and George W. to any international summit.
People would tune out important programs like "The Apprentice" or "American Idle (I misspelled it on purpose)" just to hear them both speak.
Why give up worthwhile quotes like:
"But we've got a big border in Texas, with Mexico, obviously -- and we've got a big border with Canada -- Arizona is affected."
or
"Border relations between Canada and Mexico have never been better."
In order to double our pleasure we could rely on President Quayle to entertain us with similar gaffes:
"Republicans understand the importance of bondage between a mother and child."
or
"Quite frankly, teachers are the only profession that teaches our children."
I say if we're going to be screwed by conservative politicians we might as well get a good laugh out of it. It's almost like the Clayton Williams (Republican candidate for governor of Texas) once said; "Weather's like rape - long as it's inevitable, you might as well lie back and enjoy it.
