These guys used to be the epitome of the hard drinking backroom politicians. Bob Bullock was a raging alcoholic when he was Speaker. The stories of his escapades when he got rolling were epic around the capital.
"He stopped drinking in 1981 and remained active with Alcoholics Anonymous for the remainder of his life. Bullock died in Austin of cancer and is interred there at the Texas State Cemetery."
FoxNews had a (R) after his name..
Bob Bullock and his *Raiders* were a bunch of assholes.

You should append that to his wiki entry. For full disclosure and all.
If I had a doctor’s testemony, I would. My grandfather is now deceased.
I though Noah Beery junior was dead. Who knew he was down in Texas driving drunk? Did he go into politics after the Rockford files went off the air?
