I agree.
Contrast the respect we FReepers show for this good man--with whom we often disagreed politically--with the hatred and spewed vitriol from the DUmmies when any Republican dies.

Well there certainly is more respect on this thread than on the other Bentsen thread.
One is Zell Miller and the other is Chet Edwards who happens to be my Congress Critter. I don't agree with Edwards very much but he doesn't go into gutter politics like so many Dems do today.
May God Have Mercy on His Soul, Amen.
