Senator, You're No Jack Kennedy
"Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy" was a remark made during the 1988 United States vice-presidential debate by Democratic vice-presidential candidate Senator Lloyd Bentsen to Republican vice-presidential candidate Senator Dan Quayle in response to Quayle's mentioning the name of John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States. Since then, the words "You're no Jack Kennedy," or some variation on the remark, have become a part of the political lexicon as a way to deflate politicians or other individuals perceived as thinking too highly of themselves. Michael Dukakis (the Democratic presidential candidate) and Bentsen later went on to lose the 1988 United States presidential election to George H. W. Bush and Quayle, who thus became Vice President of the United States. Context The debate was held on October 5, 1988, at the Civic Auditorium in Omaha, Nebraska.
