Even when Lloyd Bentson used it against Quayle, it was pretty lame. Just a scripted one-liner with many in the audience told ahead of time to jump up and applaud.

Makes me even more glad that they lost that election.

Also, Dukakis would've allowed Saddam Hussein to take over the Saudi oil fields and he'd still be there.

For years I thought I was the only one who had noticed that.

When the shriveled, WrinkleTurd Bentsen croaked that stupid line, the response was just too immediate and well-orchestrated to be natural.

Thanks for making my night!
