ADG, The connection is that Dan Quayle, a republican,Originally posted by ADG
oh, ok, thx not I see the connection
was considered by some (especially democrats, of course) to be
a complete idiot. Thus he was chosen to represent
the lowest rank of leader in Civ I. Ironically, one of
the main reasons he was ridiculed was that he was a
bad speller. So when I first saw the subject heading

intentionally spelled his name incorrectly as joke.

he also mispelled "potato".
he spelt it "potatoe", the plural being "potatoes".
thats why a lot of people think he's a moron."I've lived too long with pain. I won't know who I am without it. We have to leave this place, I am almost happy here."

I don't want to insult anyone (we in Italy have our problem, you know), but considering the result you mention, may be we should suggest Firaxis to add some bad unique Civ effect to U.S.A. Democracy: every some time, as a random event called "election" occur, you have a probability that your leader lost half of his international reputation
