NOBODY MUNCHES BETTER

Former Vice President Dan Quayle got flak for demeaning the office by popping up in a "Wavy Lays" chip commercial during last year's Super Bowl, but liberal stalwarts Mario Cuomo and Ann Richards have nothing left to lose. The Democratic ex-governors of New York and Texas will appear in a 30-second ad during this Sunday's big game, swapping some tongue-in-cheek advice: "I should have seen it coming," says Richards. Replies Cuomo: "Maybe so, but now I think we ought to accept this change, embrace it, be positive about it, because change can be very exciting." It emerges that the duo is gabbing about nothing weightier than a new, improved Doritos Tortilla Chips package.
