[Bacle]

Longtime GOP senator and presidential candidate Bob Dole dead at 98

Former Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole died Sunday morning at age 98 after he was treated for lung cancer earlier this year.

He had announced he had Stage 4 Lung cancer earlier this year, it seems.

... I sincerely thought he had already died.

Still, lung cancer is a shitty way to go. May he rest in peace.

A Great American and the last one who was truly honest and committed to being a public servant over a career of corruption and self-serving interest.

A good man who served in a very different era of politics

Bob Dole was a badass. Combat wounded WW2 veteran. And 98 years old as well!

He also had quite the sense of humor. See his skit with Norm MacDonald after he lost the '96 Presidential election.

Or the Pepsi commercial with Britney Spears...



There was one irreplaceable star in that video and it wasn't Britney!
