LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - U. S. Senator Richard Lugar died Sunday morning, according to a release from the Lugar Center.
Lugar was a senator from 1977 to 2013, before that serving as Mayor of Indianapolis from 1968 to 1975.
After his career in politics, Lugar continued work through the Lugar Center, focused on global food security and aid effectiveness.
He was a professor at Indiana University and led the Richard G. Lugar Symposium for Tomorrows Leaders at the University of Indianapolis. He held 46 honorary degrees from universities around the country, and Queen Elizabeth bestowed upon him the rank of honorary Knight Commander.
Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb issued the following statement on Lugars death:

Otherwise no great loss. He wasn't worth a pimple on a bull's ass.
Very chummy with Obama and Obama full of praise for him. Plus a lifetime in the senate. He may have been a ‘good man’ but that reeks of establishment Rino.
“Lugar was a senator from 1977 to 2013, before that serving as Mayor of Indianapolis from 1968 to 1975.”
Disgusting parasite.
“I do not understand why some Freepers insist on speaking cruelly - anonymously - viciously - immediately upon death - of the dead.”
It’s not just some Freepers and you don’t have to be dead. Whatever the syndrome, it seems to have to do with how it bring feelings of personal empowerment to “underachievers”.
The guy never had an honest job?
Your comments on Luger tell me more about you than this globalist RINO.
Who cares? Just another parasite gone off the DC gravy train
Lugar might have been gentlemanly but he was a willing shill for K Street and any crap the globalist foreign policy establishment came out with. That is why he and his ilk are now loathed here.
Really? A glass of warm milk...an incredibly boring human being.
I think he was part of the destruction of Russia. That was good. The end of his career was not good though.
He did run for President in 1996 had had to bow to his majority leader, who failed to unseat the popular “Bill”.
He was once called Richard M. Nixon’s “favorite mayor.”
Dan Quayle was also a Lugar fan, once said Lugar was permanently “his senator”.
and Ross ...
Only Nixon could go to Indianapolis. :)
He was part of the DC establishment swamp.
Rather have a Luger in my pocket than a Lugar in the Senate.
I think somebody is projecting.
Good riddance Dick Lugy.
