It’s a bad week to be a crooked ex-Congresscritter. The plane crash that took out Ted Stevens at least had the element of drama while everybody waited to find out if he was dead or alive.
Ol’ Rosty had cancer, and he has been out of the national spotlight for so long that his death got a lot less notice from the media, even though he was one helluva crook in his day.
There’s no shortage of crooked ex-congressmen, to be sure, but given that these sorts of things like to happen in threes, if I were this guy, I’d be staying home with the doors locked and the shades drawn for a few days.
