At a time when natural disasters and scandals and violent protests make it seem like everything is falling apart at once, at least one thing is still working, and it’s Bob Dole! What else has the former presidential candidate and Senate Majority Leader outlasted?

Refrigerator is broken, Bob Dole is still working

Car is broken, Bob Dole is still working

Leg bone is broken, Bob Dole is still working

Nine Inch Nails is broken, Bob Dole is still working
