Bob Dole has stage 4 lung cancer

Young Dole cocksucker lips

Oops, I thought he was already dead.

I didn't know he was still with us either!

He will never be president now.

And I can't run after his two terms like that lezbo slut did.

Fuck.

Maybe Ladybird will want an older woman to "guide" him into another presidential run....

One for the last Republicans I respected.

All lives end the same way - You Die.

Unless you are Prince Phillip.....

Bob Dole. Prince Phillip.

So young, so young.

Bob Dole is a decent man, who was truly brave.

I imagine the course of treatment will be one to ease the time left to you rather than to prolong life.

That’s a shame. I can’t imagine doing chemotherapy at 97. Think I’d rather just go. I agree that he’s one of the last republicans I respected as well. John McCain another.

So does TJ Ducklo.

Except that TJ is only 32.

So yeah, Bob. You should be grateful.

Why does he get to keep the title "Senator Dole?"

He was actually a Trump defender, so don't think he was still an old school Republican

[quote] He was actually a Trump defender, so don't think he was still an old school Republican

Well in that case, DIIIIEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Reaching out to Rush Limbaugh for his opinion on the subject.

Rush....?

I thought he died when Bush the 2nd was in office.

Doesn't Viagra work for lung cancer?

At least Limbaugh will be there to welcome him to Hell.

How I'll always think of him.

he's 97. He's had a long life.

Didn't he once snap at some reporter re George H.W. Bush, "Tell him to stop lying about my record!"

I haven't thought about him in a while and I had no clue he was already 97!

[quote]he's 97. He's had a long life.

Relatively speaking.

[quote]Bob Dole is a decent man, who was truly brave.

Er, brave for what? Weaseling his way out of being held responsible for his part in Watergate? Running nasty campaigns where he lowered the bar for political discourse by an order of magnitude? Cashing literally millions of dollars in checks from corporate interests?

Proof that he was a respectable Republican? He was pretty bad at the time - it's just the goal posts have been moved so far for Republicans, he seems light in comparison.

He was no friend to anyone but Republicans and had a very dark side. He was out to destroy the Clintons.

I'm with R23. He was a nasty piece of work who lived far too long. And his wife was no better.

[quote] Er, brave for what?

No, none of that, silly.

He’s brave for getting up after he fell off that grandstand on the campaign trail.

I’m surprised that had to be explained.

Bob Dole is fine. Bob Dole will fight this with every fiber of Bob Dole’s being.

Bob Dole is a fighter. Bob Dole will survive this.

I liked that he did those erectile dysfunction commercials.

That bitch wife of his was a disaster at the Red Cross.

Dear Bob: Can I have your Covid vaccine?

No, R15.

That was American justice and an orderly, representative democracy you're thinking of.

Well, he is my nominee on the DL deathwatch list for 2021.

Only time will tell. 😈

Damn -- Republicans are dropping like flies.

Remember when he fell off the stage in '96? That's all I remember from that race.

I thought he was already dead.

Nope. Sure don’t. Hadn’t even heard of it until you brought it up.

If I make it to my nineties and am diagnosed with cancer, hospice would be the only treatment I would want.

The announcement means he has days to live.

As far as all this Bob Dole was a decent man bullshit, unlike HW Bush, Dole endorsed Donald Trump in 2016.

Bob Dole would have worked in the Kansas grocery store all his life if it hadn't been for the GI Bill. Then after he got a position in politics he opposed government programs like the GI bill to help others out of poverty. Typical conservative Republican selfishness. He's also a nasty sonofabitch, if you remember any of the 1996 campaign for president. "Smoking isn't as harmful as milk."

I wonder if that sexy daddy is down for marriage.

I also remember Bob Dole is being a vile and selfish person.

No oncologist would recommend chemo for a 97 year old.

He was part of that whole “American Empire” bullshit. Put a dildo in his gimp hand.

I wonder if Libby is still fucking Kissinger...

He's fine sends his love.

"My first treatment will begin on Monday. While I certainly have some hurdles ahead, I also know that I join millions of Americans who face significant health challenges of their own. They just don't have health insurance, so their families will go bankrupt, Ha ha ha ha."

Dole is not having chemotherapy or any other kind of treatment, he'll be dead by Monday.

R42, "Liddy."

Libby is your stewed prunes.

r42 Pardon??? You jest?!

[quote] This may not end well.

Who the hell gives a flying fuck.

Yeah yeah.

Jimmy Carter is still with us. ONJ is. Valerie Harper stuck around a lot longer than I would have expected.

The only good Republicans have left the party, all 3 of them.

[quote] No oncologist would recommend chemo for a 97 year old.

If you have the money you can buy anything, including medical procedures that are 99.9% sure not to work. The healthcare industry in this country is just as easily bought off as any other industry.

He did do some good.

By a few months, former Senator James Buckley (R-NY) is older than Dole & is the oldest living former (or current) US Senator.

I'm no fan of Bob Dole, but this defines a hero: (from wikipedia)

In 1942, Dole joined the United States Army's Enlisted Reserve Corps to fight in World War II, becoming a second lieutenant in the Army's 10th Mountain Division. In April 1945, while engaged in combat near Castel d'Aiano in the Apennine mountains southwest of Bologna, Italy, Dole was seriously wounded by German machine gun fire, being struck in his upper back and right arm. As Lee Sandlin describes, when fellow soldiers saw the extent of his injuries, all they thought they could do was to "give him the largest dose of morphine they dared and write an 'M' for 'morphine' on his forehead in his own blood, so that nobody else who found him would give him a second, fatal dose."

Dole was transported to the United States, where his recovery was slow, interrupted by blood clots and a life-threatening infection. After large doses of penicillin were not successful, he overcame the infection with the administration of streptomycin, which at the time was still an experimental drug. He remained despondent, "not ready to accept the fact that my life would be changed forever." He was encouraged to see Hampar Kelikian, an orthopedist in Chicago who had been working with veterans returning from war. Although during their first meeting Kelikian told Dole that he would never be able to recover fully, the encounter changed Dole's outlook on life, who years later wrote of Kelikian, a survivor of the Armenian Genocide, "Kelikian inspired me to focus on what I had left and what I could do with it, rather than complaining what had been lost." Dr. K, as Dole later came to affectionately call him, operated on him seven times, free of charge, and had, in Dole's words, "an impact on my life second only to my family."

Regardless of what anyone thinks of either figure, this clip of Bob Dole at the funeral of George HW is extraordinarily dignified.

[quote]Bob Dole is a decent man

Oh shut the fuck up. He was a republican and a Trump supporter. I'm so sick of seeing gay people on this website slobbering over our worst enemies. Get a fucking clue.

Vomiting over R55 and peace the fuck out, boot lickers.

Didn’t he cry giving a eulogy at Nixon’s funeral? Blech.

“Bob Dole couldn’t sell beer on a troop ship”- former Senator William Saxbe. Dole had 1 friend in the entire Senate, Daniel Inouye, who he met in the hospital when they were recovering from their battle wounds.

[quote] who he met in the hospital

Oh, dear!

Anyone who works at a cancer hospital knows that chemo and radiation kill the patients, why are these barbaric treatments still be used?
