Well, in honor of election season, I'd like to do a special post for today- Michael Dukakis' birthday! While he's now remembered mainly for losing to Bush I (and for a visual gag in the Naked Gun 2 1/2 which compared him to the Hindenburg), Michael Dukakis was the first democratic presidential candidate I can remember and therefore the primordial example of good in the eternal struggle against evil. Lloyd Bentsen, riding shotgun in the Dukakis-mobile, also has a very special place in my heart...
Now that's what I want in a governor! A guy who walks around diners disrupting patrons trying to have a nice, quiet meal.

Oops.
At any rate, since Lloyed Bentsen is basically my hero, I'm obligated to post this clip, hopfully familiar to everyone, but always worth a watch. RIP, Lloyd!
PWNED!!!
Ahhh, what a classic. I love the blank stare on Quayle's face as Bentsen lays down the greatest line in the history of debate.
To quote Will Ferrell (in Old School) "That's how you DEBATE!!!"
