The guys life was a bunch of bowls spinning on top of rods...just like the entertainment act except his were all full of hatred and shit. It's remarkable he lived as long as he did. That's the only thing that's remarkable. He's all that is wrong with politicians... I cannot say I am surprised by nor do I mourn his passing.
Thanks Norton. Couldn't have said it better. As soon as I saw the news of his demise this morning, I recalled being on the other end of this earth and even people there knowing his bs. They could not believe he was still in office. He literally was a source of worldwide embarrassment and the very definition of political corruption.
But then again you know all the political big dogs will be at his wake, spewing baloney and weeping for his departure.
Shocker ... CNN this a.m. had the Rev. Jessie Jackson on talking about what a wonderful man he was. The amount of sunshine and spin they were blowing was incredible.
You guys may not have liked his politics but he was a true blue democrat and very good at what he did: pretending to care about the poor, while enriching and empowering himself. Against guns unless they were protecting himself or his family. Extra points for womanizing...including hookers.
