Darn. I didn't realize he was that old. I better check my own driver's license and see where I'm at …

RIP. Sorry he didn’t live long enough to see his son win the Nevada Governorship next year (Adam Paul Laxalt).
To: fishtank
He was a great Senator, I met him in Albuquerque about 30 years ago. I have a picture of him holding my youngest son when he was a baby.

Yes. Illegitimate son with Sen. Paul Laxalt’s daughter. It wasn’t publicly acknowledged until 2013.
To: fishtank
Prayers up for his loved ones.
The sorry array of worthless senators we have now make Domenici look very special.

Budget hawk his whole career.
Probably saw public debt hit $20 Trillion and it killed him.
US will be like Brazil in 15 years with diluted currency.
To: DIRTYSECRET
He retired when he became ill...
McCain next door in AZ however....
