Ben Quayle is the son of former Vice President Dan Quayle and he is running for Congress in Arizona. He has garnered attention recently for a campaign ad declaring Barack Obama “the worst president in history,” but this is so much more awesome–

TheDirty.com (formerly DirtyScottsdale.com) has alleged that Quayle not only helped found the “gossip and satire” site– which abounds with scandalous photos and tongue-in-cheek tales of sexual conquest– but that he also contributed a column.

Quayle allegedly wrote the column under the pseudonym Brock Landers, a reference to a character in “Boogie Nights”–

Well, not really a character in “Boogie Nights.” You see, Mark Wahlberg plays a guy named Eddie Adams who adopts the stage name Dirk Diggler and then stars in a series of low-budget action-porn flicks as Brock Landers. (Wahlberg’s co-star John C. Reilly plays Reed Rothchild, who portrays Brock Landers’s sidekick Chest Rockwell.)

The possibility of Quayle’s involvement with TheDirty.com could very well make him unelectable, but the whole lecherous satirical conceit also makes him very interesting.

UPDATE: I guess I’m a little late to this story. Ben Quayle is denying that he wrote the column.
