Looking at the archives from May 2006, we are reminded that former Senator Lloyd Bentsen died at age 85. Like many of his generation, he served in World War II and came home to go into business and politics.
Most people remember Lloyd Bentsen because of the 1988 VP debates. ("I knew John Kennedy, and you are no John Kennedy")
Great line. It will be around forever.
In Texas, Bentsen was known as a good Senator and the last of the old Democrats.
They don't make Democrats like Bentsen anymore.
