It's Admiral Stockdale, by the way, and anyone that voted for Perot gave us 8 years of Clinton.
Not a fan of people who would make fun of Stockdale, One of it's like kicking your own grandfather.
Dennis Miller put it succinctly in 1993:
"Now I know (Stockdale's name has) become a buzzword in this culture for doddering old man, but let's look at the record, folks. The guy was the first guy in and the last guy out of Vietnam, a war that many Americans, including our present President, did not want to dirty their hands with. The reason he had to turn his hearing aid on at that debate is because those fucking animals knocked his eardrums out when he wouldn't spill his guts. He teaches philosophy at Stanford University, he's a brilliant, sensitive, courageous man. And yet he committed the one unpardonable sin in our culture: he was bad on television."
