Former Rep. Lee H. Hamilton, an Indiana Democrat who went on to chair the 9/11 Commission and was one of his party’s foremost foreign policy mavens, has died at the age of 94.

First elected in 1964, Hamilton served 17 terms and went on to a busy retirement with his roles at, among other institutions and organizations, Indiana University’s Center on Representative Government and the Hamilton Lugar School of Global and International Studies, named after him and the late Indiana Republican Sen.

Indiana has lost another joke of a politician. They even mentioned our favorite RINO, Dick Lugar. Another so called foreign policy expert. Fits right along with Todd Young.

I'm not sure how Indiana keeps coming up with these half ass jokes that we are supposed to up to?

Hamilton was the ultimate insider.

He was a disaster for the country.

Honestly-— a whole lot of real moron duds for politics from Indiana. Notably a whole lot descended from the 1920’s demonrat party of WWI Wilsonian democrats (iow Klan democrats- whose new platform was anti Catholic, anti-Jewish, anti-black and in so doing aiding Communist Labor and National Socialism/Anarchy in that era and through the Depression.

Don’t forget— y Mike Pence the absolute fraud. Actually think Dan Quayle would have been much better that Georgie HW Bush— but the Left had an early run against him. He was culturally on the correct track. Strange times, and now look at us.
