https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/19/us/p ... -dead.html
GREAT patriot, devout Christian, and true American. Walter F. Mondale, the former vice president and champion of liberal politics, activist government and civil rights who ran as the Democratic candidate for president in 1984, losing to President Ronald Reagan in a landslide, died on Monday at his home in Minneapolis. He was 93.
Kathy Tunheim, a spokeswoman for the family, announced the death. She did not specify a cause.
A son of a minister of modest means, Fritz Mondale, as he was widely known, led a rich public life that began in Minnesota under the tutelage of his state’s progressive pathfinder, Hubert H. Humphrey. He achieved his own historic firsts, especially with his selection of Representative Geraldine A. Ferraro of New York as his running mate in 1984, the first woman to seek the vice presidency on a major national ticket.
Under President Jimmy Carter, from 1977 to 1981, Mr. Mondale was the first vice president to serve as a genuine partner of a president, with full access to intelligence briefings, a weekly lunch with Mr. Carter, his own office near the president’s and his own staff integrated with Mr. Carter’s.
In a statement released on Monday night, Mr. Carter wrote: “Today I mourn the passing of my dear friend Walter Mondale, who I consider the best vice president in our country’s history. During our administration, Fritz used his political skill and personal integrity to transform the vice presidency into a dynamic, policy-driving force that had never been seen before and still exists today.”
Throughout his career, Mr. Mondale advocated an assertive and interventionist role for the federal government, especially on behalf of the poor, minority groups and women.
“I’m a liberal or a progressive,” he said in an interview for this obituary in 2010. “I didn’t use the ‘liberal’ word much, because I thought it carried too much baggage. But my whole life, I worked on the idea that government can be an instrument for social progress. We need that progress. Fairness requires it.”
He furthered that cause during his 12 years representing Minnesota in the United States Senate, where he was a strong supporter of civil rights, school aid, expansion of health care and child care, consumer protection, and many other liberal programs. In 1974, he briefly explored running for president.

How much America would have been had it elected him in 1980 rather than that idiot Reagan.

Wanna feel old? The child actor who played Chuck Connors’ son on The Rifleman has died at age 75.
Wanna feel even worse? He died of Alzheimer’s disease.

Was she involved in politics? I know she was Jewish but am not aware of her political leanings. Perhaps because she had been convicted of domestic violence this makes you think she was a right winger (???).

She beat the sh*t out of her professional baseball pitcher husband (Chuck Finley, solid all star once or more pitcher, think he was with the angels at the time).
And the song is one of the great cheesy hair band glam rock 80s songs!

Re: Obituaries - Gone but not forgotten.
Right wingers are always predisposed to violence so it would not surprise me in the least that she was a right wingnut.

Re: Obituaries - Gone but not forgotten.
I mean maybe you think I’m a right winger, I am a republican still (inertia perhaps at this point but seeing if I can wait out this lunacy), but occasionally a little slap or hair pull or bite isn’t so bad. But nothing that would require going to the hospital.

I don’t know if she was. I just know most red-blooded boys in America are. Conservatives like hot chicks, straight up.
Libs aren’t too interested in hot chicks; they’re more interested in things that rhyme with chicks.
