It was said that Nelson Rockfeller died of low blood pressure. 70 over 22 (badabing!).
Truth is stranger than fiction: Rocky didn’t cork off & die right then. Megan managed to get out from under him & then for an hour discussed with a friend what to do next. When she finally called for an ambulance, he was done for.
Rockefeller’s resume is impressive for his many accomplishments. But the sordid manner of his death is all that he’s remembered for.
“Rockefeller’s resume is impressive for his many accomplishments. But the sordid manner of his death is all that he’s remembered for.”
That’s not what I remember him for. Nelson Rockefeller was the leader of the eastern GOP liberal establishment that hated Goldwater conservatives with a passion.
His ideological heirs are the people we call RINOs; odd because they have controlled the GOP for most of its existence. Conservatives are the anomaly. The GOPe war against the tea party is just the GOP returning to its Rockefeller Republican past.
