And this reminds me of an anecdote about Bob Dole that I know is true because
I knew and worked with the people involved. They were a group of advertising
people who worked on a Dole political TV campaign.
After working for many hours with a film editor to put together a TV spot,
they decided to leave it in the editor's hands and come back and see his edit
in the morning. Sometime during the night, the film editor began to be
bothered by the fact that throughout the footage, Bob Dole only shook hands
with his left hand.
Well, you probably guessed it . . .
The editor took it upon himself to "flip" all the images of Dole shaking with
his left. In the morning the ad agency people were presented with a hew Dole
for President commercial that featured a new -- healed! -- Bob Dole.
--Bob, who would rather see Bob Dole advertise *himself* than Viagra
