If it makes you feel any better, Quayle is one of my favorite people.
[have you learned yet what :-) means?]
Here's something for you to think about a little. Above you give
a "little fact". This little fact is practically meaningless unless
interpreted in some more general context, i.e. according to
some "theory". For example, you may have a theory that the
media did not report this fact because it was trying to make
Quayle look like an idiot. But this can't be because if we have
facts we don't need theories, right?

Yes, of course it was intentional.
