All of the Dims I understand. But for...
William Cohen (R-Maine)
Al D’Amato (R-N.Y.)
John C. Danforth (R-Mo.)
David Durenberger (R-Minn.)
Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.)
Richard Lugar (R-Ind.)
Larry Pressler (R-S.D.)
Alan Simpson (R-Wyo.)
John W. Warner (R-Va.)

I can only quote Alan Simpson at the Bush funeral last week who said...”Those who travel the high road of humility in Washington do not have to deal with a great deal of traffic”.

It is arrogant for these people who once served to think their opinions matter more than the rest of us who don’t have the privilege of suckling from the lobbyist firms.

Alan Simpson. I didn’t catch the whole funeral, but I was disgusted by his attempt to slip politics into his GHW Bush eulogy.

I once heard someone say, "When a man turns an eye toward politics and evil begins to grow in his heart."

While that does not apply universally, I think that this "Gang of 44" membership fits into that category and further, once it begins to grow it never stops.
