I think it's important to honor the service to one's country, in whatever form it may take, regardless of background or credo.

that being said...

I hope the son of a bitch burns in hell. He was a mean nasty pigfucker, as wretched a human being as ever served as an american politician.

"It's just incredible that he would die on July 4th, the same day of the Declaration of Independence and the same day that Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died, and he certainly is a patriot in the mold of those great men," said former North Carolina GOP Rep. Bill Cobey.

I think Jefferson would have hated that SOB.

Wow. I always kind of knew he was an asshat, but Jesus Christ! Wikipedia's entry for him is pretty thoroughly cited:

Apparently, the only person that DID like him was Bono.
