Confession: I will miss former Republican Senator Bob Dole of Kansas, who died today at the age of 98. WW2 veteran and really the last politician of that era. RIP.

He was always a guy who could work across the aisle with Democrats. His eulogy at Nixon’s funeral is memorable to me, as well as some personal stuff.

I would have voted for Clinton if I had been old enough in 96, but I can respect Bob Dole as someone who tried to do what he thought was the right thing in office even if I didn't agree with him

Bob Dole is one of those people who I knew about vaguely but never really knew what they accomplished exactly. I guess it's part of that general tendenancy to not pay much attention to the old timers until they're dead and obituaries are out.

His presidential campaign was the first time my parents got actively involved in politics and volunteered for his campaign (minor stuff, I think they were responsible for arranging yard signs for part of our area and that was it). I was entirely uninterested in politics at the time and still don't remember anything about his actual platform, but we got to meet him after one of his campaign events and he was a really nice guy in person.

That little anecdote is just about all I know about the guy beyond just reading his wiki bio.

I’m not questioning his life’s work whatsoever but it astonishes me that a 98-yo person can continue working high-level government jobs.

Huh? He retired a long time ago. He did hand write a newspaper column, though, that was published Monday in USA Today. Called for bipartisanship.

I left my previous employer (of 15 yrs) because of the good o’boys club (you can join if you cheat on your wife, have zero accountability, a huge ego and nose up a VP’s ass). Some of the best competent people have left recently as a result. Now they’re constantly posting propaganda on LI pretending it’s a “fun & cool” place to work. It makes me want to throw up in my mouth. I was I could tell all the naive young millennials to run, as fast as they can or else they better watch their backs…

Someone should make a candy brand called "reds," where the candy concept is like Mike and Ike's, but they're all red, and the reds are different flavors, like cherry cola, strawberry, sour cherry, raspberry, cinnamon, watermelon, peppermint, bubblegum, and more... And then they could make a "greens" version, a "blues" version, orange, etc.
