    What a smoking turd he was. Like Ted Kennedy, they should have trucked in kitty litter to cover them both up. The people of Penn. much be Complete Morons to have re-elected the jerk after the comments he made concerning the idiots of the state of Pennsylvania. I say good riddance to bad rubbish.
