For us older generation patriots, former Vermont Senator "Jumping" Jim Jeffords, the Senator who screwed the GOP in 2001 by switching sides to caucus with the Democrats, shifting majority control of the Senate, passed away this morning.
No word on whether he slipped on a banana peel:
Diane Derby, a former aide, says Jeffords died Monday in Washington. She said he had been in declining health.
Jeffords had announced in 2005 that he would not seek a fourth term, citing his and his wife's health problems. His wife, Liz, died in 2007.
I'm not glad he's dead - rest in peace, most assuredly, Senator - but I sure as hell was glad that he was gone. At least Bernie Sanders admits that he's a pinko.
