funeral services in washington for the late senator bob dole. contrast between then and now was a stark and as sad as the moment. today was a reminder of a place, a way of doing politics, a set of values and a country that now exists only in words. paying tribute to those who once embodied it. he came into the arena with certain guiding principles. to begin with, devotion to country, to fair play, to decency. to dignity, to honor, to literally attempting to find the common good. that s how he worked with george mcgovern to find hunger in america. particularly, as it affected children and around the world. he worked with teddy kennedy and tom harken to bring down the barriers of americans living with disabilities. a profound change and profound act of grace. he worked with daniel patrick moynihan to literally save social security. because bob believed every american deserves to grow old with their basic dignity, basic dignity intact. we disagreed, the president west on to
