Jack W. Germond, an irascible columnist and commentator who was a fixture on the American political scene for nearly 50 years, including nearly 20 of them in The Baltimore Sun's Washington bureau, died shortly after 4 a.m. today of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease at his home in Charles Town, W. Va.
He was 85.
"Jack died from the consequences of a life well-lived. He died at his home overlooking his beloved Shenandoah River," said his wife of 18 years, the former Alice Travis Ruby, who recently stepped down as secretary of the Democratic National Committee.
Mr. Germond joined The Sun in 1981 after The Washington Star folded, and retired in 2000.

Bye-Bye!
WRONG!
Wasn’t he 85 for about 20 years now?
I did not agree with him, but he was among the original Mclaughlin group members.
LOL
They say deaths come in threes:
Helen Thomas
Jack Germond
Who is next????
I’d rather it be Rather.
Thanks for the reference. Hopefully dfwgator can understand my comment now.

Bradlee
I am shocked - shocked - that his wife worked for the DNC.
BTW it was John Goodman that portrayed Germond in that skit.
I believe John Palmer was the third. Dan Rather is not going to go nearly so easily.
Correctomundo!
We’re reaping what he and his colleagues sowed. But, condolences to his family.
Beat me to it.
He ate too much.
Yep, you know you’re fat, when John Goodman plays you on SNL.
And drank. And smoked.
