Correct on the first two (although Pat Leahy of Vermont is the seniormost Senate Dem now, and would've become President pro tem again, as he was once before); the third is Dave Kovic (Kevin Kline) in the very funny political satire Dave.
I spent a year on Dukakis's national field staff, serving in New Hampshire, Vermont, New Jersey, Michigan and Ohio, and at the 1988 Democratic Natl. Convention in Atlanta. I met him a couple of times, including when I interviewed for the job.

Duh! He was deputy chief of staff! You would have figured it out anyway.
Watching "Maddow", the guy with Deaver's old job tried to rig retirement laws and he would've gotten away with it if it weren't for the pesky NYT! :)
I tell you, the NYT is worse than the Scooby Gang!
It's been awhile since we've played the letter
