2. Thank you Al, for being a mensch. That was a kind and well-done eulogy. nt

3. Any senator who would be in Viagra commercials must have a sense of humor!

4. Check out his 2001 Pepsi Commercial for the Superbowl

It riffs on the Viagra one.

7. "That's not something Bob Dole does." LOL!

10. I remember Letterman saying Dole lost because he came off as the

crabby old guy who'll yell at you if your ball rolls in his yard and Clinton seemed like the cool uncle who'd buy you beer when you were underage.


I've always thought Dole made a mistake not letting the public really see his sense of humor until after the election.

19. Good point

Media Image, it’s different that the genuine person.

And that’s the problem more often than not.

6. I was wondering what 45* said about Dole..... someone obviously wrote it for him

45*'s eulogy was brief, concise, compassionate, and didn't even mention 45*. It certainly doesn't take a rocket scientist to reach the conclusion that someone else wrote it for him.

8. Al Franken...as if it wasn't already competely obvious...

...you are a better man than I am, Gunga Din. The best I could manage was keeping my mouth shut - literally and figuratively - but at least I did that.

Damn, what a good man Al is.

9. This was posted on Al's thread

the 1988 Republican debate:

Dan Ackroyd as Bob Dole
Dana Carvey as HW Bush
Phil Harmann as Jack Kemp
Kevin Nealon as Pete DuPont
and.... wait for it
Al Franken as Pat Robertson

16. That was so good!

Al nailed Pat Robertson’s voice. Everyone was excellent.

17. Al is a brilliant mimic

I've heard him do a Senate debate between Mitch McConnell and Bernie Sanders, and he nails both of them.
