He was one of my favorite columnists... even though he was 60 years older than me... well, almost. I was blown away in 2000 when Gore v. Bush was going on and again during Bush/Kerry. He was old then, obviously, but he was so thoughtful in his commentary. When he talked politics, he was someone to listen to. He had his own opinions and didn't just toe the party lines. It was funny, though, rolling my eyes when he'd complain about some typical old man thing... like music being too loud. <br /><br />It sure is too bad he didn't live to see Obama as president. I know he would have had a lot to say on the subject. Anyway, I'm glad someone else discovered him.Pocket Rebelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573986662223690886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12159522.post-80292776035622681932008-12-11T02:19:00.000-05:002008-12-11T02:19:00.000-05:00Tea--Thank YouTea--Thank Yousteve on the slow trainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18257811143869341854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12159522.post-26651833081230614332008-12-09T00:18:00.000-05:002008-12-09T00:18:00.000-05:00I second Elizabeth.
