"I like beautiful things..."

Great quote from Jesse Helms, who is dead now. I don't have anything good to say. Best I could do was that quote, which for some reason, struck me.

Some people leave a legacy so noxious, they deserve nothing by way of tribute but a stifled smile on their way out. I was upset when people focused on the things they disliked about Tim Russert right after he died, but this is a celebratory parade I could get behind.

Hell, if anything it's good that Russert left before Helms. We'd hear words like "controversial," "bare-knuckled," and "hard-hitting." We're sure to hear them anyway, but from one less voice.
