You were a RINO, but at least you helped usher in Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court. So thanks for that.

My sentiments exactly. I first became aware of Specter because of his masterful and very effective defense of Thomas.

I sincerely hope he got right with God.

I can also sincerely say I truly enjoyed Houston radio talk show host Michael Berry cleaning his clock.

A prayer for his family.

So now the snarlin’ one can fall in the same platoon with fellow Pennsylvania potlickers Murtha and Paterno.

Those who have studied Spector's life carefully know why I post this photo.

The dems dumped him just as soon as they used him up.

I won’t be at the funeral, and I won’t miss him.

That’s about all of the good things I can say about him.

Arlen could do some good things because of the way he played the game.

He would swerve to the right with Thomas because of a primary challenge in 1992. After he dispatched his primary opponent and the feminists trashed Arlen for his questioning of Anita Hill in the general election, Specter would become apologetic.

Arlen swerved right and left and of course switched parties to get elected and to try to stay elected. He parsed his words even better than old Bill Clinton.

That’s what it was all about, “Scottish law”, “guilty but not proven” etc. etc. Rhetorical exercises in political survival were the stuff of Specter who wanted to hold onto the power as long as he could.

So, will the dems be scheduling a “Specter-Palooza” event to exploit his death just in time for the election?

That's fantastic! The buses will rolling to the rally any minute now!

Actually, the Dems have no problem with votes from deceased persons so it’s not yet too early for him to cast his vote.

Okay, I’ll play. Can you explain the photo for those of us who are clueless.

I pray for comfort and blessings on his family and friends. I hope it is not dissing him to pray for a bit of wisdom for them as well. As any man, he did some good and some bad in this life.

Ira Einhorn. Specter was his attorney.
