https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/05/us/politics/bob-dole-humor.html?name=styln-bob-dole®ion=TOP_BANNER&block=storyline_menu_recirc&action=click&pgtype=Article&variant=0_Control&is_new=false R.I.P Bob Dole In his first campaign for the presidency, in 1980, Mr. Dole joined the pile-on against President Jimmy Carter. “I once called Carter a chicken-fried McGovern,” Mr. Dole said, referring to the former Democratic nominee George McGovern. “And I take that back because I’ve come to respect McGovern.” Much like Mr. McGovern’s 1972 general election campaign, Mr. Dole’s 1980 primary campaign crashed and burned. He won just 607 votes in New Hampshire. The next day, he “slept like a baby,” Mr. Dole said afterward. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mk2gTC9_Fd4 After Mr. Leno mentioned research showing that Viagra might cause blindness in rare cases, Mr. Dole emerged to roars of laughter from the audience. “That’s a lot of rubbish, Jay,” he said. “I hate to see this misinformation being spread. I know a little about Viagra, Bob Dole knows a little about Viagra, and my vision is perfect. It’s 20/20. “And,” he said, pointing to Mr. Leno’s band leader, “you ought to know better, Jay Leno.”
