Grim Reaper 186 Posted December 31, 2010 The Bob Dole thread 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
USFuneralDirector 2 Posted January 1, 2011 Bob Dole is a moderate to strong choice for DL and a really good first time pick. He will be 88 in July 2011 and in the past few years has had his share of health problems: abdominal bleeding surgery in 2001, hip surgery in 2005 (along with bleeding of the brain), heart problems & leg surgery in 2009. But 2010 brought him a 9 month hospital stay in Washington D.C. for knee surgery and 3 bouts of pneumonia. His health is obviously failing; seriously. As a former congressman & senator, 1976 Republican VP candidate & 1996 Republican pres candidate, his death would warrant a degree of public attention and media coverage.

PiL 0 Posted January 8, 2011 He's back in the hospital. http://www.nebraska.tv/Global/story.asp?S=13804596 unidentifiable illness is always a good sign (for us). I'm sure he'll last until around september though at least, and could even make it to 2012 and beyond. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure he'll last until around september though at least, and could even make it to 2012 and beyond. Released from hospital. His people are saying that the problems were nothing serious.

JR976evil 905 Posted January 23, 2011 He asked me to pass on this personal message; "Bob Dole would like to express how flattered Bob Dole is over being included in the 2011 Deathlist. Bob Dole think's that Bob Dole is an inspired choice, and that Bob Dole will do everything in Bob Dole's power to ensure that Bob Dole does not fail the Deathlist and it's devotees. Bob Dole feels that Deathlist is an honourable and democratic institution, by the people for the people and Bob Dole is truly honoured to be a part of it. Bob Dole's sole regret is that Bob Dole will not be able to share the Deathlist celebrations of Bob Dole's passing, but that Bob Dole will be there in spirit (or possibly as a spirit). Yours sincerely, Bob Dole" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
USFuneralDirector 2 Posted March 26, 2011 http://www.nationaljournal.com/magazine/bo...fid=site_search Here is a recent interview with Dole, conducted by National Journal. It states he is back at "work". But look at the photo and listen to the recording of the interview, his voice sounds very haggard and almost out of breath. This man could still a successful DL bet for 2011. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chicago103 41 Posted July 22, 2011 Today is Bob Dole's 88th birthday. He was Gerald Ford's running mate in 1976 and was present at the former president's funeral in 2006 however he was not at the recent funeral of Betty Ford, perhaps a sign that his health is failing.

Octopus of Odstock 2,186 Posted October 4, 2011 I'm not on my normal computer for the time being so I haven't got the link (I do apologise), but on Google News there's numerous mentions of Bob Dole at a event to name a bypass (car, not heart) in his honour. On one, a Kansas news one, there's even a video to assess the Dolester. Frail? Yes. In a wheelchair or unable to stand for a long time? Yes. Looking older? Yes. About to die... well, I'm no expert at these things, but I don't think so... not on his current health. Any more issues though and I don't think he'llbe able to fight much more.

Death Impends 7,953 Posted November 30, 2012 Interesting article on the hospitalizations of Dole and GHWB. Posting it in here rather than Bush's thread since it suggests a grimmer outlook for Dole due to the haziness surrounding his condition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
