Dan Quayle walks out of Mellencamp show
Don't expect Dan Quayle to attend another John Mellencamp concert. The former vice president, miffed about a comment made by Mellencamp about President Bush's administration, walked out of the singer's July 14 show at Harvey's Lake Tahoe Casino in Stateline, Nev.
Mellencamp, unaware that Quayle was in the audience, introduced the song "Walk Tall" by saying, "This next one is for all the poor people who've been ignored by the current administration."
Quayle, who was in town for a celebrity golf tournament, then made his exit, deciding "enough was enough," his spokesman, Craig Whitney, told the Los Angeles Times for Friday's edition. "He wasn't going to sit there and listen to this."

Check out the first verse of "Walk Tall":
The simple minded
And the uninformed
Can be easily led astray
And those that cannot connect the dots
Hey look the other way
People believe what they want to believe
When it makes no sense at all
So be careful of those killing in Jesus's name*
He don't believe in killing at all
Jesus devoted his life to opposing Republicans. Republicans nailed Jesus to a cross.
