RIP for an American war hero.

Can’t say I like his politics much, though.

Inouye was a member of the Senate Watergate Committee in 1973.

When the Nixon people learned the makeup of the committee, one of them said of Inouye something like "there ain't no way" he would be anything but trouble for them.

At one point in the hearings he didn't like what one of the witnesses was saying and muttered under his breath, "What a liar!" When he was accused of saying that, he denied it...but it had been caught on tape, so then he said that he must have been referring to himself.

How many of the Watergate committee members are still alive? I believe Howard Baker is.
