66. I didn't!
I just couldn't list them all, or it would have read like Wikipedia :P

And I agree on how we've provided some of the best liberals. Remember his famous quote in the VP debates with Dan Quayle in '88? I had to look this up to get it verbatim, but it's still unforgettable!

Bentsen was responsible for one of the most memorable moments of the campaign during his televised debate with Republican vice presidential nominee Dan Quayle. Quayle stated that he had as much political experience as John F. Kennedy had when he ran for the presidency. Bentsen retorted, "Senator, I served with Jack Kennedy. I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy." Quayle responded by saying, "That was really uncalled for, Senator." Bentsen responded, "You're the one that was making the comparison, Senator."

:rofl:
