Saw that yesterday. What a life this man led.

If you feel like some light reading, his book on political humor is worth an afternoon or so.

I knew the surgeon who operated on his hand. He said that Dole was a kind and genuine man.

Yeah every indication always pointed that way. Old school Senator. We need a new generation of guys like him.

[Copper]

We'll need a world war.

May Sen. Dole be nestled in love by his family and be spared of agony in his remaining days on Earth.

The problem is not that we don’t have “guys like him.” The problem is that we don’t have enough people who would vote for guys like him.

You know, I don't know if I need to laugh or cry about that one.

But I'm afraid you're right. Or at the very least a major worldwide Depression.
