It wasn't the campaign that killed him, it was the headache! (his last words were "I have a terrible headache" or something to that effect). Anyway, I'm stumped on this one. It feels like one of those that I'll say "oh, duh" when you tell us.

Trying to recall a past military leader, a statesmanlike congressman, perhaps an ultra-popular Governor.... Somebody who in theory could have run, and won, but simply didn't want it.... I've got nuthin. Not even an umbrella stand!

OK, here's another quote from the same source: War is Hell.

Oh, drat. Patton? This is definitely the "oh, duh" moment I expected!

[Bjork rings in.]
Trebek: Bjork.
Bjork: Sometimes, when I am putting oarenges in a circle, I think of my thoughts, and they make me lauhhgh.
[time out buzzer]
Bjork: No?
Trebek: Are you Icelandic or retarded?

L.M.A.O. And don't even get me started on "Catch These Men" with Sean Connery.
