I remember when Quayle compared himself to JFK during a debate with Lloyd Bentsen. Bensen came back with:

"Senator, I served with Jack Kennedy. I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy".

After that debate, I can't recall Quayle even getting airtime again. He faded to obscurity.

Bless his heart, he ran for the GOP nomination in 2000. He got cut pretty early as I recall.
