Former Senator Lloyd Bentsen dies at 85

[KnoxVegas]

Right up there with George I's "Read my lips: No new taxes!" from the 1988 presidential campaign is Lloyd Bentsen response to Dan Quayle, when Quayle likened himself to JFK, ""Senator, I served with Jack Kennedy. I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy."

Classic!
