As a native Hoosier, the Quayle family has a special place in my heart. The same way that red meat has a special place in my colon.

From what I've found, it's tough to determine exactly what ol' Ben Quayle has been doing for a living up till now. There's been some sweet financial industry gigs, and something involving a site called "TheDirty.com," which apparently involved scantily clad women, a porn pseudonym, and more scantily clad women. All that sounds fine, and now that he's to be a super-serious congressman candidate guy, I'll take his gig instead. If that's cool.

It's hard to even know what's going on with that campaign. Is it a birthday present from a generous relative? A vanity piece, like Glamour Shots for the ultra-wealthy? A nationwide fever dream? Whatever it is, it is a Beautiful Thing To Behold, and it should be treasured. You don't get to see a young douchebag flame out often--not this hard, not this fast. Let's enjoy the weirdness till November.
