While Discussing The Terms Of The Vice-presidential Debate

HomeFortune CookiesMiscellaneous Collections

While discussing the terms of the vice-presidential debate, Quayle's aide
suggested that "props" be allowed, mainly because the Vice-President
wanted to read directly from Al Gore's book on the environment,
"Earth in the Balance: Ecology and the Human Spirit." Gore's people agreed,
saying that the Senator would then use a potato as a prop. Quayle quickly
abandoned the proposal.
