Remember when Brit Hume also lost his son to a suicide...Brit was a changed person from that day forward.
I remember it well....

n the book, Scarborough outs himself as the confidential source for Sandy Hume’s blockbuster article for The Hill, which recounted the behind-the-scenes drama of an aborted Republican coup. In July 1997, G.O.P House members, including Scarborough, were fed up with House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who proved to be incompetent when it came to working with people or getting things done.
The planned putsch by some twenty-odd renegade members failed because of a last-minute betrayal by House Majority Leader Dick Armey, who turned on his colleagues after learning that Bill Paxon, not Armey, was designated to succeed Gingrich.
Right after The Hill published “Gingrich Foils Coup By Deputies,” on July 16, 1997, Sandy Hume became famous. His story got plugged by Mark Shields on the PBS NewsHour, by Al Hunt on CNN’s Capital Gang, and by Sam Donaldson on This Week. Hume was interviewed by Bernard Shaw on CNN’s Inside Politics.
