Robert Maurius Reno, one of former U.S. Attorney General Janet Renos two younger brothers, died Saturday morning, according to their sister, Maggy Hurchalla, of Stuart.
The Miami native was born Dec. 11, 1939, at Jackson Memorial Hospital and succumbed to Alzheimers disease at the Miami Veterans Administration Medical Center, where hed been living for about four years.
He was 74 and, said Hurchalla a proud liberal Democrat.
Reno became a journalist, like his parents, the late Henry and Jane Reno, and spent most of his career at Newsday, the New York daily, starting as a reporter in 1968.
As a liberal columnist from the 1980s until his retirement in early 2003, Reno took on the National Rifle Association, conservatives, and the super rich, railed against poverty, social inequality and corrupt politicians, and delighted in deflating the outsized egos of the powerful.........
....In a 1990 Mothers Day column, he praised the strong women in his life.
If you called her a cow, my mother wouldnt whine and complain, shed simply bust you in the chops, he wrote. I am the progeny of lionesses, not twits, and all the women in my family are bossy as hell.
....In lieu of flowers, the family asks friends even if they are Republicans to give to the Obama campaign, Hurchalla said. That was an inspiration we had while crying [Saturday] morning.

Sounds like a weird family and who would call your mom a cow-what a strange thing to say.
His evil columns used to be found in my leftist local rag, Newsday.
I can't wait till the Waco murdering bitch dies so I can piss on her grave.
There’s still one poor SOB rotting in a flori-duh prison over one of Janet Reno’s witchcraft trials i.e. for shit which not only never happened but which isn’t even physically possible.
Yes. He'll cast a ballot. Probably several times.
These people are really sick! It appears politics is their religion.
He was an anti Catholic skunk.
LOL!!!!
So this Altzheimers was a life-long condition?
100 years from now he will still be voting dem.

What a bunch of arrogant jerks!
Personally I find it disrespectful to turn a death into a campaign fund-raising event.
