hmmm... how's that old saying go? "If you can't say anything good....."

So I won't.

Rest in peace, Tom.

Is that a kick-the-bucket reference? Looks like it, although maybe I’m reading too much into it.

His politics were that of my political enemy, but he served as best he knew how, the American people. I recognize his service, and wish his family the grace, mercy and peace of a Loving God during this time. May he rest in peace.

He was the white haired guy with the thick East European accent that Rush would imitate from time to time. He was the guy that implied that Craig Livingstone should commit suicide after the 900 FBI files were revealed as being “mis-handled” by the KKKlintoon administration............

Took me a minute to remember who he was. He joined in the smear against Patraeus. He was OLD.

I think that Ronald Reagan showed the world by his friendship with Tip O’Neill that your political enemies do not have to be your personal enemies. While I disagreed with Tom Lantos on every political issue there was, I have no problem offering his family my condolences. May he rest in peace.
