Arlen Specter, who scuttled his U.S. Senate career after switching to the Democratic party in an ill-fated battle to retain his longtime Senate seat, died Sunday in Philadelphia.
Specter, 82, who announced in late August that he was battling cancer, died at his home from complications of non-Hodgkins lymphoma, said his son Shanin.
Specter underwent treatment for cancer three times during his senate career. He suffered from a malignant brain tumor and was treated twice for non-Hodgkins lymphoma, in 2005 and in 2008.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.
I have always despised him. So shoot me.
I always heard that if you can’t say something nice about someone, don’t say anything. With that thought in mind, I will remain silent.
Arlen Specter was a major proponent of the Warren Commission's single bullet theory

As my granddaddy from southern Georgia used to say, “boy, that’s just another man dead.”

They had no right to do that.
I was about to say those exact words.
He’s always been Arlen SPHINCTER in my book.
