 <title>Joey Bishop, 89, Last of the Rat Pack</title>
 <link>http://www.observer.com/2007/josey-bishop-dies-89</link>
 <description><![CDATA[<!--paging_filter--><p>Joey Bishop, the last surviving member of the Rat Pack, died at his home of multiple causes, according to his publicist.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/Movies/10/18/obit.bishop/">CNN via AP</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>The Rat Pack -- originally a social group surrounding Humphrey Bogart -- became a show business sensation in the early 1960s, appearing at the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas in shows that combined music and comedy in a seemingly chaotic manner.</p>
<p> Reviewers often claimed that Bishop played a minor role, but Sinatra knew otherwise. He termed the comedian &quot;the Hub of the Big Wheel,&quot; with Bishop coming up with some of the best one-liners and beginning many jokes with his favorite phrase, &quot;Son of a gun!&quot;</p>
