Not to speak ill of the dead, but I spoke ill of the Senator while he was alive.

I know some of his former DC staff. I think he was an SOB to be honest.

He was for sure a RINO, although those standards have certainly changed over the years.

In the end, literally, I will never understand why anyone would permit any pilots to perform close aerial maneuvers over a populated area. They should have done the gear check over an airport or a field someplace. He died because of it, but he also killed children in a school playground. Icarus couldn't have been filled with more hubris.

And yet, he gets the Paul Wellstone treatment.

Like I said, I'll never understand it.

"Not to speak ill of the dead, but I spoke ill of the Senator while he was alive."

By those standards, I'll be able to speak ill of all politicians when they die. I'm like Archie Burnker -- I hate 'em all. Even the ones that I like.

Heinz was a RINO even then. As I recall he wasn't much better than a JFK or HHH. Of course, those guys are better than most of our current crop that just keeps getting worse.

When they die in office, the become saint's doncha know?
