I'm Bob Dole.... and Bob Dole endorses Mitt Romney. Does he still speak in the third person?

I'm sorry I didn't know he was still living. At least he's endorsing someone just as boring as him!

Wow! is that Andrew Jackson or Millard Fillmore? He looks 15 years older than Nancy Reagan!

I can't help but see the video of him taking a header right off of the center stage and into supporters at a rally when he was running for president whenever I see Dole. Is that wrong? It was, after all, a harbinger of the election results to come...

That's what I'd want if I were Romney, the Weak Dick Poster Child, Mr. Erectile Dysfunction himself, saying I was his guy.....

NOT.

Both are typical examples of the GOP establishment GOP though. Their relevance was once great, but they've never really recovered from backing Rockefeller.

Hey, I can't be the only person here who's surprised to learn that Bob Dole is still alive.

"alive"...you are being very generous! He looks scary - zombie scary.

Mitt should have probably just accpted the endorsement with a thank you.

Because Mitt is so anti-social if he says anything else Dole may want to retract it.

Bob Dole endorses Romney, thereby confirming the continued irrelevance of both of them.

Bob Dole was a factor in locking out 3rd party candidates from political debates after Ross Perots bid for the white house. Dole wanted the League of Women Voters to change the rules, and not let 3rd parties participate. That is why the League of Women Voters backed out by saying they would "not be a party to hood winking the public"
