Remember when Ben's daddy, Mr. Potatoe Head, nattered on about "family values"? It turns out that Quayle Family Values include being a corrupt politician and commenting on porno sites. I have no problem with the latter, except that Ben Quayle pretends to be something he is not.

It gets even better. Muckety reports the following.

In Arizona, Ben Quayle, son of former Vice President Dan Quayle, won a GOP primary for Congress despite several advertising trip-ups. (A campaign mailer promoting family values neglected to mention that the two little girls in the photo were not his. Quayle and his wife have no children.
