Lloyd Bentsen R.I.P.
One perk of being Treasury Secretary is that you get your signature on every currency note printed. Beats the hell out of having some bureaucratic office building named after you.
Ultimately Bentsen will be forever known for The Quote, but the first thing I think of (and why I’m posting this) is the hilarious clip of young first-term Rep. Bentsen in The Atomic Cafe where he rants against communism and then urges people to petition congress for a resolution to nuke North Korea.
