Comments on: The lion of the Senate http://foodpluspolitics.com/2009/08/26/the-lion-of-the-senate/ Recipes from scratch and a lot of chatter about food ( plus a little about politics ) Fri, 26 Feb 2010 00:15:43 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: ellaella http://foodpluspolitics.com/2009/08/26/the-lion-of-the-senate/#comment-6219 ellaella Fri, 28 Aug 2009 12:45:29 +0000 http://foodpluspolitics.com/?p=4502#comment-6219 Thanks for those comments, Muse.

"The last of the golden boys", I said to a friend. He said "He never WAS a golden boy." I object. Like many of us, he had his flaws. He could have sat out public service; resigned or declined to run again when he had some troubles, but as many commentators have said, he may have done more in his senate service than he might have been able to as President. He was a good senator, and one hopes his work and memory will inspire some of those live lawmakers to show some...life.
