To the calm, Mother Earth's
Waiting breast;
Duty done, Like the sun:
Going West.
RIP. He was about 90 when he was a VP candidate.
Good riddance to some very bad rubbish...
Can you imagine being remembered for your role as second fiddle to Michael Dukakis?
I know living people. Living people are friends of mine. Senator, you're no living person.
We are the same people who were "astonished", "disgusted" AND "appalled" at the DemoCRAPS trashing the death of President Reagan. Yet, here we are doing the same thing. Let's not act like them. We are classier than them.
I think it would be useful to show some tact and follow the rule of "if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all.
RIP Lloyd Bentsen
He was in on money operations to do with that.
The only thing I remember about this "person" is that he stayed Secy of Treasury just long enough to bail his son Lan Bentsen out of trouble during the S&L crisis, since the agency that Lan was working with to bail himself out was directly under the direction and supervision by Daddy.
May his family find peace.
However, I find it curious that a "former Senator" warrants so much media attention.
S.W.T.F.I.P.
His "I knew JFK, and you're no JFK" comment to Quayle was the height of rudeness, and I only wish Quayle had been quick enought to slap it right back at him. But he didn't see it coming because he mistakenly thought he was dealing with a gentleman. If it had been the other way around - Quayle zinging Benstsen - the press would have jumped all over Quayle.
Like John Glenn: a big, solid soldier and a good man who shrank annually once he became a Senator.
May he rest in peace. My prayers for his family.
RIP Mr. Bentsen.
Too bad he'll only be remembered for that one lame quote.
The sun always shined on Lloyd Bentsen. That is what he was fond of saying.
Darned fine soldier. Went Democrat when they actually stood for something and got left behind waiting for them to come home to roost.
A slaute, a farewell. Thanks for serving OUR country.
Rest in eternal peace.
