In 1992 then Vice President Dan Quayle participated in a world class spelling bee. In the final round of the bee Quayle faced off against the paper clip from The Microsoft Office Suite, Akeelah, and Mathologist al-Khwarizmi. He won by correctly changing the primitive spelling of potato to the modern-day spelling, potatoe. Since both al-Khwarizmi and the paper clip were Cuban born, the bee was viewed as the greatest victory against communism since the Bay of Pigs and was lauded as the greatest act of the Quayle vice-presidency
