Happy Birthday Michael Dukakis

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.
