Maybe, but it seems more likely to me that he just didn't think as much as he should have as he was speaking.
I mean, we have a couple of Biden comments that would place him in the running for this kind of stupid too, but I doubt that most people who think that Palin and Quayle are really this stupid would accept that Biden is.

This is partially off-topic, but I don't think Bush I had a high opinion of Quayle, and started to regret the pick soon after he made it.
Grand Old Party, an excellent book about the history of the Republican party, talks a little about his regret over it.
Had the Democrats actually put forth a decent candidate in '88, it would have been interesting to see what kind of affect Quayle had on the electorate. Fortunately for the Republicans, Dukakis ran one of the 2-3 worst campaigns in history.
