He was eccentric. I loved him. He called BS on the floor of the house. He knew what he was dealing with. Takes one to know one. Robbers and thieves all.

He did seem to give a shit and to care though.

Kinda like Huey Long, Eugene Debs, Senator Byrd and so on and so forth.

Look at what we are left with

Nothing.

More HOPE AND CHANGE.

Got it.
