Death Watch '06: Lloyd Bentsen
By Paul Shrug, Section News Posted on Tue May 23rd, 2006 at 05:00:54 PM PDT

Former Democratic Senator Lloyd Bentsen, a Texan who also served as Treasury Secretary, and who ran for Vice President in 1988 on the Michael Dukakis ticket, ain't here no more at age 75. Lloyd Bentsen will forever be remembered for a quote he made while debating opposing Veep candidate Dan Quayle in 1988, probably the most famous quote by a vice presidential candidate in American history, and a quote which I will commemorate in this story's POLL:
