Quayle was relentlessly ridiculed in the press and on such shows as [[Saturday Night Live]] as soon as he was announced as the selection to be Bush's running mate.  Quayle was ill-prepared to handle such attacks which fed into even stronger attacks against him.  His every move became scrutinized. The comic strip [[Doonesbury]] parodied him as unready to take office and used the icon of a floating feather.  It was implied that he was chosen for his looks and controlled by the older Bush.
