Everyone. He's sort of like the anti-Paine Webber. Or the anti-Howard
Stern/Rush Limbaugh ("I want to listen, just to hear what he'll say
next").
(The background is that the issue of grades came up between Gore and
Quayle back in '92, IIRC--Gore was apparently a model student gradewise,
but Quayle went I believe to Yale (how nicely rhyming) and got what he
characterised as a "gentleman's C"...apparently that 'potatoe' was worth
two grades.)
