Summary: Two senior men lament how Dole ranked 93rd in a survey on congressional effectiveness and votes with Bush 92 percent of the time.
Script of "Rocking Chairs" (TV)
SENIOR #1: I'm telling you, Liddy Dole is 93.
SENIOR #2: 93?
SENIOR #1: Yep, she ranks 93rd in effectiveness.
SENIOR #2: After 40 years in Washington?
SENIOR #1: After 40 years in Washington, Dole is 93rd in effectiveness -- right near the bottom.
SENIOR #2: I've read she's 92.
SENIOR #1: Didn't I just tell you she's 93?
SENIOR #2: No, 92 percent of the time she votes with Bush.
SENIOR #1 What's happened to the Liddy Dole I knew?
SENIOR #2: She's just not a go-getter like you and me.
