10. I missed Clinton. I invited Sen. Bentsen to my wedding ages ago,

and he didn't show (or reply, even though his staff usually replied to my mail). A friend told me that you never know, a Congressperson might come in for a wedding if they are already in the neighborhood.

I was really saddened when I heard of his passing. He is a few years older than my dad.

Rest In Peace, Secretary Bentsen.

11. You know what would make a great cartoon?

Bentsen and Kennedy lounging on deck chairs with margaritas. Heavenly clouds all around. Bentsen is talking, while Kennedy howls with laughter and slaps his knee. Caption: And then I sez to the guy -- get this -- "Senator, I served with Jack Kennedy, I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy."

If anybody wants to draw it, go ahead.

Lloyd Bentsen made Quayle hunting fashionable long before Dick Deadeye.
