Read about the potatoe-incident, this bit from Dan Quayle's Wiki-entry had me laughing.

Quayle was at one point during his Vice-Presidency accused by the John Birch Society of secretly being a communist agent working to "further the aims and objectives of the International Communist Conspiracy direct from the White House" and of "taking orders directly from the same individuals from whom the Kremlin take theirs". The Birch Society further claimed that Quayle's bumbling persona was a carefully contrived act on his part to minimize suspicion and that in reality Quayle possessed a "formidable intellect and cunning". Although the Birch Society claimed to have "hard evidence" to back up these claims, they never made any such evidence public. Ironically, Quayle's parents had once been members of the John Birch Society themselves.
