Agreed. I wasn't implying it was a tragedy for him in some self-interested way.

But I don't think you can crucify someone who swam 500 meters after a car wreck and then passed out (most likely due to shock over liquor). I wasn't there that night and I'm not going to say what he did was right. It was wrong, wrong, wrong. But you can't deny that it haunted him and he made a valiant effort to serve the American people afterward (no matter his beliefs).
He was a big part of the "No Child Left Behind" program, as well as justice for equal rights and State Child Health insurance programs.

I'd say he had a productive 40+ years in government.


And we all know how well that's working.....
