RIP Rob Dole

The last time I remember seeing him in public was when President Bush passed away. He had to have his aides help him stand up to salute.
Seems he kicked cancers *** for a good while
Not something you read every day but it can happen to anyone. Didn't realize he was that old.
Played basketball for the University of Kansas Jayhawks. He was a smoker who died of Stage 4 lung cancer.
Put down those cigarettes boys and girls and let those Jayhawks be

Played on the same teams as Perry Ellis, IIRC....
He did viagra commercials and did a commercial with Britney Spears where he said ‘down boy’. I think he’d be ok with it
Does meth cause elongation of the neck?
Good afternoon, cool prince.

Bob Dole played on Kansas Jayhawks basketball team before serving in the US Army during WW2. He's pictured back row, third from left. Legendary Coach Phog Allen is back row, far left.
Had the opportunity to meet Sen. Dole my junior year at the University of Kentucky. As luck would have it, he was a Kappa Sigma at the University of Kansas during his college day's and I was a Kappa Sig at Kentucky. I was living in Kerwin One which was the football dorm. He was running on the ticket with Gerald Ford and came to the Kappa Sigma house. He along with Elizabeth asked me who we were playing that weekend, and I said ironically we are playing in Lawrence against your alma mater, Kansas. Elizabeth told me she hoped we won. We got smoked. They were wonderful people. RIP you great American!
And how many WW2 vets a) do you still know that are alive at all, and b) are under age 98? My uncle would be 94 and was drafted into Marines as soon as he graduated from HS in '45. War ended before he ever left basic training and was discharged in April '46. Net, he was about the youngest you could be and still be considered (technically) a WW2 vet. I only know one WW2 vet still left - a neighbor - and he's 99/100.
Wife just walked in and showed me Bob Dole being helped out of his wheel chair to salute President Bush and yes I am proud I did have a tear run down my cheek.
Whether or not you voted for him or agreed with his politicial views, Bob Dole as about as close to an objectively good person as one could find.
Nobody eats Bob Dole's peanut butter!
Nice to meet you ambassador. This must be your lovely wife.. err your assistant. Sorry, uh, your wife passed on. Well, uh, well...
If cancer gets me at age 96...I'm good with that...RIP RD.
Norm (in Bob Dole voice) "Bob Dole fought a valiant battle with cancer, but in the end, it was a draw."
Will never forget that time he misspelled “potato.”
R.I.P. he will be pissed when he finds out that he voted Biden 2024
Future US Senators Daniel Inouye and Bob Dole recovering from WW2 injuries at the Army hospital in Battle Creek, MI. Both men remained lifelong friends.
Bob Dole was indeed a high character, patriotic man that endured enormous pain from his battle wounds that left him paralyzed in the arms and legs for quite a while. Everyone should be grateful to this man for his lifelong, selfless service to his country. Wish we had more like him today.
He couldn't get elected in today's political climate.
Watched his funeral at the National Cathedral. One of the nicest services I've ever seen. Were losing the greatest generation and it saddens me.
