More Campaign Promises: Mrs. Dole’s Top 10 List
- Share via
WASHINGTON — Elizabeth Hanford Dole returned to the late-night talk-show circuit, offering a David Letterman-like list of 10 reasons why Bob Dole should be elected president.
Friday night’s appearance was her second foray onto a talk show where her husband’s campaign for the White House has been fodder for a host’s monologue.
Earlier this month, she roared onto “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” on a motorcycle wearing a black helmet and a black leather jacket that bore the logo “Bikers for Bob.”
This time she came to “The Late Show with David Letterman” with a top 10 list of “reasons why Bob Dole should be elected president.”
Samples:
* “He’ll cut your taxes 15% and cut your lawn too.”
* “Our dog Leader is much better at ‘Stupid Pet Tricks’ than Clinton’s cat, Socks.”
* “Dole and Kemp are two four-letter words you can teach your children.”
* “No more Big Macs at White House state dinners.”
* “The State of the Union message will be more exciting because you never know if Bob will stage dive and surf the crowd.”
* “Read my lips: No more Macarena!”
