RIP. Sadly, he stayed longer than he should have and was battling the bottle, which didn’t help in his loss to Bean.
RIP.
I considered Phil Crane my surrogate Congressman until he was defeated, 10 years ago, I was literally sick to my stomach when that disgusting little wench Bean convinced suburban dead heads to vote for her marxist *ss. And even more revolting creature sits in that (now gerrymandered) seat today, Tammy Duckface, the fake war hero.
2nd best guy to run for President in 1980. A better Congressman drunk than most sober.
His brother Dan was also a Congressman, defeated in 1984 after a sex scandal with a page girl (17). Queer rat Gerry Studds of MA did the same with a page boy, he was reelected, of course.
