Breaking:
Prominent former Illinois congressman Henry Hyde has died.
Update:
Wiki puts the time of death around 3:00am. More information still not available though, at this time.
…[A] gallant champion of the weak and forgotten, and a fearless defender of life in all its seasons.
President Chimperz, when presenting Hyde with the Presidential Medal of Freedom
The congressman was a “powerful defender of life”, with decades of maintaining a strong anti-abortion stance by crushing the rights of women everywhere.
As chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, in 1998 he led House efforts to impeach Clinton for allegedly lying about his affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky, and then in 1999 was the chief House manager in the unsuccessful bid to win a Senate conviction.
Millions of taxpayer dollars spent and so much time wasted on a farce. But he had the best intentions at heart.
