Bob Dole’s Farewell Address Was Hilariously Savage – Opinion

RedState has reported that Bob Dole, who spent the majority of his 98 year life serving his country, died December 5. Dole sustained serious injuries while trying to rescue a soldier during WWII. He would eventually recover, though never fully, and become one of the nation’s most prolific public servants.

The left had to win, and even though he was gone, he would still be there for his supporters. MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan decided that the cardinal aspect of Dole’s storied life was that he supported Donald Trump. Others decided to make Dole’s funeral about Ted Cruz deciding not to wear a mask as a fully vaccinated adult.

Yet, in hilarious fashion, Dole’s farewell address kept tweaking the left. The former senator joked about election integrity in a statement likely to have Hasan humming about January 6th.

Bob Dole’s letter of farewell:

“I’m a bit curious to learn if I am correct in thinking that Heaven will look a lot like Kansas… And to see, like others who have gone before me, if I will still be able to vote in Chicago.”pic.twitter.com/wQ1pTs83wz

You are an absolute barbarian. You have to respect a man who’s willing to exercise a sense of humor at his own funeral, and I think it’s a great thing. A dose of humor would be a welcome addition to this nation. Too many people are at each others’ throats constantly. That’s not to say debates shouldn’t take place, but at the end of the day, there’s more to life than making a religion of Washington politics. Heck, I write about politics for a living, but if you met me in person, that’s the last thing we’d be talking about.

Do your best to have a funeral that is funny, and not just a commercial. Politics is serious business at times, but it’s also not that serious at times. Dole exemplified that beautifully.
