[See NewsBusters for more.] On the eve of the vice presidential debate, MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell on Monday reminisced about a favorite target of the liberal media veterans: Dan Quayle. Going back 28 years, Mitchell rehashed, yet again Senator Lloyd Bentsen’s attack during the 1988 vice presidential debate that Quayle was “no Jack Kennedy.” Mitchell recounted the spin against the Republican, “Almost immediately [after being named George H.W. Bush’s running mate], there were concerns about Quayle, about how he got into the National Guard during Vietnam and whether he was experienced enough to be vice president.”
