It describes a moment where someone says, in public, something incredibly stupid and idiotic. It is named after former US Vice President Dan Quayle who had done this on several occasions.
An example of a Dan Quayle Moment by Dan Quayle himself. "If we do not succeed, we run the risk of failure."

Get the Dan Quayle Momentmug. Da inept bungling former vice-president who doesn't even know how to spell da name of a common root-vegetable. Maybe he made said mistake because HE HIMSELF is a total "vegetable" as far as any common sense or basic awareness is concerned!
Dan Quayl ADDED an "e" incorrectly to da name of a VEGETABLE, so I am SUBTRACTING an "e" from HIS name to make up for it --- you know, to kinda "balance things out".
