It was seersucker/candystriper day in the Senate Former Senator Bob Bennett, an extremely conservative Utah Republican who was thrown under the Tea Party clown car in Utah's 2010 state Republican convention for being "too liberal" (he actually spoke to Democrats now and again), died May 4 at the age of 82. He'd been under treatment for pancreatic cancer for over a year, and had also suffered a stroke in April. While his family was spending some quiet time with him at George Washington University Hospital, a few days before his death, Bennett
Deathbed regrets are a sad end to some peoples lives.If you're an asshole during your entire life and career, saying you're sorry as your own end draws near just doesn't mean that much to me.You had 82 years on this planet, you decided in the last .5 of the very last one that you have regrets...You had your shot to be decent when you had actual power, you fucked it up.
My regret will be I could not overcome my addiction to store bought birthday cake.
It's nice that Bob Bennett wanted to apologize to Muslims for Trump and his party before he passed. It took Germany a while to apologize to literally every group after Hiter died....
welp, I hope if his son (or any of his relatives) plan on going into politics, he takes this to heart. not gonna do the rest of us much good, cause it's just a nice story about what a great guy grandpa was unless they do something about it.
My memory of Bob Bennett is from 30 or so years earlier when he was a guest of a news program on KUER, the public radio station affiliated with the University of Utah. He went off on a tear about how the public sector had no right to compete with the private sector. The host asked him if that applied to this radio station. Bennett laughed and said, no, of course not, but if you were to somehow boost your signal so that it went beyond the campus dormitories, then, yes, you would have no business doing that. <dead air=""> before the host pointed out that the station's signal did, indeed, reach to every corner of the state and parts of Idaho and Wyoming as well.
One of my step grandmother's did that. As she got closer to death, she started doing shit she had never done before, like give to charity or say nice things about everyone. She even hugged me once, which was weird because my siblings and I were never allowed in her house.
No really. We were not allowed inside. Our step cousins (her real grandkids) were allowed inside. They brought us food and water. There was a small bathroom in her giant air-conditioned garage. That's as "inside" we got.
Anyways, she really wanted to go to heaven so she stopped being a cunt.
..."wanting to be informed enough to that he wouldn’t be making decisions on the floor of the Senate ignorantly."
No wonder he got Tea Partied. A Republican lawmaker who seeks to EDUCATE himself on the issues he's making laws about? We can't have that.
I almost never feel compelled to apologize to entire ethnic groups for what Democrats are doing. Well at least not since the early 60's.

Say, do you know who ELSE had to apologize to a religious group after a certain somebody did terrible things to them?

I like winners who can fight off cancer and live. Weak. Sad!
Every time a devil jabs him in the butt.
He won't bother. If he does it will be something like "Who? I don't know him? Sorry he died."
All this can be avoided by not being a dick in the first place. But yeah, better late than never I suppose

Man you are getting good. Remember, the abyss stares back.
I warned him his face would get stuck that way, but did he listen?

If he were a real mensch, not just what passes for one in Mormon Nutlandia, his name would be Udall.
