#8 Bob Hope was a true patriot and a real mensch. The contrast with today's radical and self-absorbed celebrities is truly depressing. |

#7 When you compare the life of this American hero to the faux "Man from Hope", you realize who the REAL man from Hope was. |

#4 Damn--this man was truly the last of his kind. I miss him and so many other class acts from my parents' generation (Dean Martin, Frank, Red Skelton, etc.). Dames, drinks, cigars, bowties and laughs aplenty, and all without uttering four-letter words in every sentence. Truly a great era is passed. |

#3 Put him on the dollar coin! Kind of off subject but the best comedian of that era for my money was Jack Benny. |

#2 Keep Hope Alive... (Sorry, could not resist) The amazing thing about Bob Hope was his ability to be relevent to soldiers 2 generations younger than himself, particularly during the cynical 60's. He deserves big honors this week. |

#1 Never a foul word in public other than some really biting satirical comments, mostly about him self |
