He also famously had difficulty in spelling the word 'potato' and was jeered by the liberal media for making the reasonable assumption that people in Latin America spoke Latin.

Resonable assumption? A US vice president not knowing what language they speak in Latin America? Czolgolz 08:34, 3 April 2007 (EDT)

Huey, how is this info important? This sounds like gossip to me and is unsourced.

Did a political opponent say, "Quayle is so stupid he can't even spell potatoes"?

And did he state that people in Latin America speak Latin - a serious forthright statement? Or was it just a verbal gaffe, such as many public speakers occasionally make? --Ed Poor 18:46, 31 March 2007 (EDT)

Are you trying to tell me that a verbal gaffe isn't a statement? That doesn't make sense. Here are your cites: [1] and [2]. Not gossip, not unsourced. It stays. --Huey dun gotcha 18:49, 31 March 2007 (EDT)

I remember the potato thing. We was at a school, helping kids with their spelling. His list had a missprint and he convinced a kid to spell potato 'potatoe'. Czolgolz 08:34, 3 April 2007 (EDT)
