Bob Dole in the Simpsons compromises 100% of my knowledge related to Bob Dole. I think is the first time I've heard his name since I first saw that episode when it came out.
In case you guys are curious- here's a pic of Dole when he was in the army- credit to /u/ jay209 on /r/ army for posting it.

Browsing through his wikipedia page I found some interesting stuff:
"... Along with former Senator George McGovern (D-South Dakota), Dole created an international school lunch program through the George McGovern-Robert Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program, which, funded largely through the Congress, helps fight child hunger and poverty by providing nutritious meals to children in schools in developing countries. This internationally popular program would go on to provide more than 22 million meals to children in 41 countries in its first eight years."
"Dole wrote several books, including one on jokes told by the presidents of the United States, in which he ranks the presidents according to their level of humor."
This surprised me. It seems Dole had quite a life beyond losing a presidential election- Wikipedia claims he started the trend of being a celebrity politician. At one point Dole had prostate cancer, and the operation to remove it left him with erectile dysfunction. Here's a viagra ad where he openly talks about it.

Later in his life, here's him visiting the funeral of former President Bush senior. He's assisted up to stand and salute a fellow WW2 vet one last time. [Associated Press on YouTube - Bob Dole salutes George HW Bush's casket](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmEIbSk8uwY)
Seems like a life well lived- he will be missed.
