Dan Quayla Tho Man who Woulff to of Lamont by Bob Woodward and David Broder Simon a schuster. Or. Stump Ooala to Wash Langton by Jamie Malinowski Birch Lane. Earlier this summer i took a tour of the vice president s office. Now not even his staff pretends that Dan Quayle is a Genius a claim found nowhere in these books. But his team makes an Effort whenever a journalist is within hailing distance to push the idea that aware of his limitations Quayle has surrounded himself with intelligent men to guide him. So i had been told of the four on his staff revised in a subsequent Call from his press office to three Joe Queenan inexplicably counts seven doctorates opening up the possibility of a dangerous . Gap. I was assured of Quayle a genuine Mastery of Paul Johnson a conservative heavyweight Bible Modem times a claim that landed him in hot water under Cross examination in Bob Woodward and David Broders otherwise highly forgiving Book. Because Quayle had uttered his Murphy Brown comments a few Days before my visit and they seemed to be playing Well the vice presidents staffers pushed his passion for family values As Well. Linen i was led into his magisterial office and approached the famous vice presidents desk where i noticed that the major dailies were neatly piled ready for his attention whensoever the Hoosier returned. Perhaps everything id Ever heard about Quayle was dead wrong. But it was then i noticed that the sports Section a i think it was Usa today so had been pulled and readied on top. I was once again primed for a pile of Quayle bashing books. All these books except Woodward and Broders use Quayle As a Pinata but they swing different sorts of bats. What a waste it is to lose ones mind contains Quayle quotes lightly padded with photos and funny facts. Some Are too familiar to Bear repeating a the title quote is now in Bartlett a familiar quotations. Some Are simply untrue a he never said latin americans speak latin. And some Are taken of context a when he said a Vietnam is a Jungle. Kuwait Iraq saudi Arabia you have Sand a he was making a strategic not just a Topographic Point. Yet his mistakes Are a mine where enthusiasts can find Many a Gem. For ambiguity his words to the american samoans a Happy campers you Are Happy campers you have been and As far As in a concerned Happy campers you will always for pathos the time he introduced himself to a woman at a Hardeep a restaurant Only to discover that she was his own secret service agent. For pure confusion his comments on the holocaust As . History. Malinowski and Queenan try for something somewhat grander a Malinowski to Render Quayle into fiction Queenan to explain what the existence of Dan Quayle tells us about ourselves and our society. Both writers graduates of the satirical spy Magazine write in its trademark Over the top style mixing High and Low culture the trivial and the serious. Que Nan s main preoccupation is Quayle As political history is he our worst vice president no that was Garret a. Hobart a the Pride of new Jersey Quot who served under Mckinley in 1896. Will Quayle be president possibly but if so the Republic will survive. Queenan has an array of factoids about the office of the vice president Indian ans and Marilyn Quayle a novel embrace the Serpent that must have involved years of newspaper clippings. After the relentless drubbing that the whip smart vice president Dan Quayle is stamped on pages. Spy duo give Quayle it s almost a Relief to turn to the stentorian tones of Woodward and Broder the Only team to directly interview the much derided subject. Woodward and Broder Don t say much on behalf of the vice president but so effectively has he been demeaned Over the last three years that even the revelation that a six months of reporting on Quayle revealed a More Complex and resourceful politician than the comic strip caricature that emerged during the 1988 Campaign. But did not dispel the impression that this former a student is a Man of average gifts and modest vision a was greeted with jubilation in the Quayle Camp. Quay cd a detractors called the Book in Queenann swords a a massive homage a Quayle Quot and a one thing to add is that All these books were written before the Murphy Brown Battle the a Spota to e a spelling Bee and the question of Quayle a connection to convict Brett Kimberlin who claims to have sold Quayle pot. Such late breaking news suggests that perhaps Quayle should be returned to his original tormentors the late night talk show hosts. Paperbacks critical Maas by David Hagberg Tor. Semi automatic novelist Hagberg who is so prolific that half his thrillers must be issued under his other name of Sean Flannery has fired up another shoot pm up this one capitalizing on the mixed feelings Many americans have about the japanese. The author of countdown Cross fire the Kremlin conspiracy eagles Fly counterstrike moving targets the Zebra network and a Bunch of other adventure stories has invented a wonderful bad Guy in Iowa Nakamura who wants revenge for the a bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Hagberg appears to have decided that the politically Correct Way to capitalize on xenophobia is to Bash one Guy rather than engage in the More usual non specific Japan bashing. A japanese american heroine appears to have been thrown in for balance and to ensure that feminists will dislike the author. The hero is a Cia Assassin who confronts sex commie bad Guys in Europe then the great nip ponese Nemesis Nakamura. Nipping at his heels is the Ciao a general counsel who is portrayed As a troublemaking idiot because he disapproves of the heroes policy of opening fire at every Opportunity.
