Sitting in his rocker in the ‘home’ with no visitors for three or four months. Fumbling at his zipper, but forgetting why, wondering why his clothes smell of urine.
Yes. This true statesman from Searchlight will be long remembered and his life read about in history books for centuries to come.
We should mourn the poor soul. He’s deceased and nobody knows it. Perhaps the decent Chuckie Schumer might tell him.
