then he went totally off the rails.

Sympathy for those who loved him. I'm certain they are suffering.

I remember him saying that he credited his wife Wendy for turning him from a "rightie" into a liberal. She showed him the light.

So who or what turned that light off again?

Rest in Peace Ed. I liked the man you USED to be.

There was a time he was likable. I wonder if he stroked out or had a heart attack. He came across as hypertensive and high-strung. So sorry for his family.

Didn't mean to sound like I was victim blaming either. I know we tend to do that on hearing about deaths, especially sudden deaths. Truth is, it could happen to any of us at any time.

Sounded like a huckster who came through better when supporting unions. Did talk about his wife's health problems (can't remember what they were - ovarian??). Anyway - he started selling gold and some sort of "miracle" things and I turned off.

He could have been great. Too bad.

Even when I agreed with him.

Maybe he crossed Putin. Check for plutonium poisoning.
