You may or may not know, but last year Bob Dole endowed the Dole Institute of Politics at the University of Kansas, his alma mater. The Institute now has a lecture series; guess who Dole invited former to give the inaugural lecture . . .

Senator Dole, who personally invited Clinton, said he was delighted his Democratic opponent in the 1996 Presidential campaign had agreed to kick-off the new lecture series. “I cannot think of a more appropriate person to inaugurate the Dole Lecture than President Clinton,” he said. “It sets entirely the right tone in terms of having the Institute embody non-partisan public service.”

I got to hear Dole's intro on Kansas Public Radio - unfortunately, there isn't a transcript yet (I'm hoping the Institute makes it available). He was funny, as well as serious about bipartisanship.

There isn't a transcript of Clinton's address available yet, either, but here's one of the earliest local newspaper articles.
