The conditions for a good working relationship, at least from my perspective, could not have been much worse. It was during the 18 months that he and I served as leaders of our parties that I got to know him best. I am proud today to be able to call him a friend. For those reasons, and many others, I was proud to be able to serve with Bob in the Senate for 10 years. And if they're forced to overcome adversity along the way, your pride is, frankly, even greater. When you come from a small Midwestern State, you take pride in the achievements of other Midwesterners who make it to the top by working hard and playing fair. From his leadership on Kosovo to his work against cancer, Bob Dole continues to make important contributions to this Senate and to the Nation. His life over these last 4 years makes me more certain than ever that that is so. History would judge him as a good leader, a good Senator, and a good American. When he announced he was leaving this institution, Bob Dole said he wanted to be judged as "just a man." I said at the time that history would surely judge him as something more. We are glad you are back.Ī couple years ago at the South Dakota State Fair, I saw a young man wearing a T-shirt that said: "Play hard play fair." You could use those same four words to describe our honoree tonight. On behalf of the entire Senate, we are so glad you are here. And we are delighted tonight to have our friend, our colleague, and one of America's favorite sons back with us.īefore I officially turn the podium over to Senator Dole, let me call on my colleague, my good friend, Senator Daschle, to speak on behalf of Bob's Democrat friends over these many years. This has certainly been an enjoyable, I know, and worthwhile program. We look forward to hearing from other Vice Presidents and leaders of the Senate in the months ahead. And, of course, Vice President Bush was here. We have had some fantastic presentations from great leaders of the Senate.
I want to welcome you all again to the sixth presentation in the Leader's Lecture Series. I should have asked Senator Dole to come up and join us on the platform, but somehow or other I thought he should sit in the leader's seat right there with Elizabeth. My colleagues in the Senate, our special family former staff members, and guests, but especially our good friend, Senator Bob Dole, and his lovely bride Elizabeth, welcome home. (They scatter, leaving the baby on the blanket.Introductory Remarks by Senator Trent Lott "If they scatter, go for the baby and the mother!" (Nero the Hero sees a bunch of picnickers) " Euthenasia day at the geriatrics hospital. The President is personal friends with Frankenstein, a man shrouded entirely in leather, because he lost an arm and a leg, and has "half a face and half a chest, and all the guts in the world". It's a very Logan's Run-like world - freaky and almost apocalyptic - and the President rules as an almost God-like figure. This resistance movement hunts down then racers one by one in an act of war against the tyrannical President. The film attempts to inject some sense of a plot by giving Frankenstein (the most famous racer of them all) a brand new navigator who is on a secret mission to kill the President of the 'United Provinces of America' and end the road race for good. Naturally, the families of those killed get prizes like trips to Acapulco and big screen TVs. But then they pop out of the manhole, and get decapitated by Viturbo's car, which has a giant knife blade on the front of it. the third guy tries to jump down the manhole, but the second guy replaced it on him as a joke. When they see him, the first guy jumps down a manhole. There's one scene where three guys are standing in the road, waiting for Machine Gun Joe Viturbo (Stallone) to come down the road. people just sit there on the track and wait to get mowed down. The premise - five racers compete in a transcontinental road race where the winner is not who finishes first, but rather who 'scores' the most people.
