If he was that ill, he surely should have retired years before he was forced out of office.

I never could understand why, when in the “real world,” most people are eager to retire by 65 or 70, the denizens of Congress instead cling to power well into their dotage.

Because it's too lucrative. Between the insider trading, pay for play shenanigans, contracts for family and friends and taxpayer funded vacation junkets, why quit?

This photo looks like it was taken at a GWB campaign rally. I’m a Western PA resident, so I can fill in a few details . . .

The woman in the white shirt to Rick’s right is a RINO, Melissa Hart, who held the Congressional district north of Pittsburgh until she was defeated by a Democrat who actually ran to her right (politically speaking).

The man to her right (positionally) is my Congresscritter, Tim Murphy. Not sure how to categorize him, though on balance he is pretty good on most issues, but does have some RINO leanings.

I attended another rally for GWB in Downtown Pittsburgh in 2004 in which Specter, Santorum, Hart and Murphy were also all in attendance. When Specter came out to speak, he was roundly and loudly BOOED by the audience. During his speech, he expressed some jealously over Rick’s “rock star” reception.

I never thought I'd see the day when Obama did something that put a smile on my face.

Nice try at an apology, but it was taken in 2004 with Bush and Santorum, covering for Specter's pathetic reelection.

Was that before, or after Santorum jumped into bed with the “K” Street gang of corrupt Lobbyists? What ever the case, his “Rock Star” status did not last long, since he soon lost with a record margin of 18%.
