RIP Bob Dole

He was a pretty good politician and a quality person. 

 

He was at the wrong place and the wrong time when he finally got the nod to run for President.  That 1995-1996 economy was hair on fire, and all Clinton had to do was not get in the way.    I remember the media made a huge deal about how old he was.  Ahh ,the warm hands of irony on America's shoulders.

Great sense of humor to the end. His daughter read his farewell letter.

'"I also confess that I'm a bit curious to learn if I am correct in thinking that heaven will look a lot like Kansas.

'"And to see, like others who have gone before me, if I will still be able to vote in Chicago."'
