Daniel Patrick Moynihan Dies

March 26, 2003

Yup! God rest his soul. I didnt always agree with him but at least he was a man you could respect.

God rest his soul. He was an American, first and foremost. Everything else was secondary.

"defining deviancy down"

[sakic]

One of the very few politicians that transcended politics and partisan politics. If there were more like him we'd all be better off.

A personally sad day for me as a New Yorker and as an appreciater of a great mind with a sense of decency. I can't count more than a handful of politicians that I truly admire. I have one less to admire today.

[Inspectorette]

Sheesh - did a Search, but spelled it "Moynihan" - sorry for the duplicate post.

"Lets see how the dems. handle this funeral."

With raucous laughter off-camera, with tears on-camera........

[Shermy]

P.S. Somebody email the clintons and tell them not to bring a jumbo-tron to his funeral service

They haven't learned their lesson. The DNC keeps denying that the Wellstone "memorial" was a fiasco.

"She'll glob onto anything to give her something she'll never have - a friend.

Perfect description of Hildabeast!

Sen. Moynahan was the last of the classic Democrat Gentlemen in the Senate. A rare breed..he had good manners. God Rest His Soul.

Same old Hildebeaste - always trying to reflect a little of some man's glory her way

She has come to praise herself, not bury Moynahan.

Agreed. He was a great man. I remember crying the day Hubert Humphrey died. We would be fortunate indeed if we could find a few more who believed as passionately as Dan. Condolences to family, friends, and all New Yorkers.

[RobFromGa]

You think they'll hold this funeral in a stadium? You think they'll bus in a few thousand "mourners"?

[laconic]

He was a very smart and decent man. He wrote an article in last month's Washingtonian naming the most effective president during his service: Ronald Reagan. He was of a class too rare in the Senate these days.

May he R.I.P, but I have to disagree on the "honorable" comment made by some here...an honorable Democrat would have handled Clinton's impeachment differently...

[Moby Grape]

An honorable democrats' passing is annouced on the Senate floor by a dishonest criminal democrat.

Oneonta New York

[Howlin]

Or values.

[amused]

Lets see how the dems. handle this funeral.

Hopefully alot better than the last one but knowing the left they will use this man's funeral to advance their agenda.

[ml/nj]

The last honorable Democrat.

This isn't the time to talk about his insertion at 3AM with only two others present into the Tax Reform Act of 1986 of a little gift to his big contributors that penalized businesses for using competitors of those contibutors, and which wasn't discovered until more than a year after the Act was passed.

They are all honourable men.
