Damn

How they ever convinced him to appear on the ticket with Dukakis, I will never know..though I think that at the time of the nomination, Duke was WAAAY up on Bush, Sr.

Yep, at one point Duke was over 20 points up.

A classy man, and author of the greatest one liner in recent American history... "I knew Jack Kennedy..."

RIP

His line against Quayle at the VP Debate in Omaha was killer. His role in the Clinton administration is greatly underappreciated.

A 15th rate LBJ knockoff, no?

I actually thought he died a couple years ago, murdered no doubt by the bandits who shoved that pool cue up Vince Foster's ass, and quickly added a couple hundred feet to the elevation of that mountain that Ron Brown's plane crashed into.

Guess not. RIP Lloyd baby.

Most hilarious (and astute) political observation ever posted on Obner. Well played, CK1.
