Um. That would be a big surprise to, you know, the alive and well Bob Dole.

More birthday wishes come in, along with reminders of the hilarious “Bob Dole says” third person riffs.

Former Sen. Bob Dole turns 89 today. I met him once in the Watergate Hotel and in the halls of the U.S. Capitol; amazing sense of humor!
