WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. Tom Lantos of California, the only Holocaust survivor ever to serve in Congress, died early Monday morning, his spokeswoman said.
Richard Jewell, security guard? — the initial fall guy for the Atlanta bombings?
"with an infinitely more distinguished public record than yours, Admiral Boorda committed suicide when he may have committed a minor mistake."
... that Dimocrat Senator will not be missed by this American.

Sew-e-cide?
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
‘Tis amazing how people forget.

Maybe Ron “Red” Dellums from Oakland, CA?
Yes, he’s a real communist whether declared or not.........
RIP ...
What a happy, nice looking family. I’m sure they will miss him.
Good enough, survive the crap he did but he came out of it hating the USA a little less than(maybe) he hated the Nazis.
Old Skool commie for sure but he sure adopted the new lefts very open contempt for traditional American values, liberty, and heroes. Someone posted yesterday a comment by Walther Matthau’s character in the movie Failsafe. Regarding the Jew and the Nazis, something about if the Jews had met the Nazis armed, how would things have turned out. Yet Mr. Lantos was for guns being gathered up by the goon squads.Guess his goons are better than Nazis’. Why, because his fascism was better! Deranged. NRA rating as of F. Christian Coalition gave him 9% on Pro-Family legislation. The only two good things on his entire voting record I can find are allowing pilots to carry guns and withholding UN money for a little while.But,Knock a general of the USA in wartime and call him a liar, Mr. Lantos? When soldiers are dying? For the sake of your party, not MY country? Hell ain’t half full.
RIP
Precisely.
Prayers for his family, but as for him, I have only contempt.
Do us a favor. Next time, tell us how you REALLY feel! ;-)
So who are the usual suspects running for his seat? Has to be filled in 60 days.
You got that right. He was an America hating communist. All of you need to do a little research on this piece of work before you eulogize him.
