Please, can they all pull a Budd Dwyer...
Robert Budd Dwyer was the 30th State Treasurer of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. He served from 1965 to 1971 as a Republican member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives and from 1971 to 1981 as a member of the Pennsylvania State Senate representing the state’s 50th district.
On January 22, 1987, Dwyer called a news conference in the Pennsylvania state capital of Harrisburg where he killed himself in front of the gathered reporters, by shooting himself with a .357 Magnum revolver. Dwyer’s suicide was broadcast later that day to a wide television audience across Pennsylvania.
