Henry was a class act, during impeachment hearings, while under withering attack from the MSM, he was steady and stuck to the process. I remember when he finished the House articles and knew they would be spiked by the Senate, he made an elegant appeal to the nation to stop with the dark cynicism and strive for a great nation. He was channeling Reagan, it was poignant and philosophical.

I can’t seem to find that speech anywhere online. Freepers? You are the best researchers on the planet (witness last night).

Condolences to the Hyde family. My opinion of Rep. Hyde declined considerably during the impeachment proceedings when he used the term "youthful indiscretion" to describe an extra-marital affair in his 40s, but he was definitely a good guy in government.

I'll never forget his answer to a reporter's question after the Senate refused to acquit Clinton (I paraphrase) . . .

"Well, the people chose Barabbas, too -- didn't they?"
