Does anyone here remember R.Budd Dwyer, the politician who committed suicide on national TV during a press conference?
‘Twas a bit too late for a doctor.
If it bleeds, it leads.
But Cant blame him. That’s a shot of a lifetime. Maybe he was too transfixed by the horror to turn away.
Ironically, R. Budd Dwyer has somewhat entered the Internet as a meme, and has been used by several “musical” groups.

amazing how long the heart keeps pumping when the brain is shut down.
One coud be forgiven for imagining its becoming a trend in DC.
Yup. That was awful.
Just like seeing a car wreck or a train wreck. You’re horrified but you can’t look away.
The man also said ‘Get an ambulance’. The paramedics would have been useless!
I’ve also seen the horrific ‘accident’ that claimed the lives of Vic Morrow and the two kids he was carrying.
I could not stop sobbing. It was one of the most horrific things I have ever seen.
Thank God it was quick.
Yeah, I remember you telling me about that. :-(
