A none-too-fond farewell to Lloyd Bentsen.
It is easy to obit that silver fox. He represented everything that any self-respecting progressive should despise, to the ends of his/her toes, about Dixie democracy, Texas style.
True, he wasn't the biggest jackass prick of his generation -- but only because John Connally got there first.
Ralph Yarborough -- now THERE was a Texan worth remembering.
