lot of things wrong with comparing Quayle and Gore's errors in speech, but this tired myth shouldn't be dignified

The liberally biased media played up Quayle's error while ignoring Senator [[Al Gore]]'s momentous gaffes: Gore referred to a leopard changing its "stripes" and misquoted the U.S. national motto as "Out of one, many" (actually it's "Out of many, one"), as well as trying to claim credit for the [[Internet]].

This "treatment" was looked upon with something of shocked dismay by politicians of the time, seeing a refinement in the attack methods honed by the media on [[Spiro Agnew]] who served as [[Richard M. Nixon]]'s first Vice President, and a harbinger of things yet to come, as in the public "lynching" of Justice [[Clarence Thomas]].
