Walter Mondale has died. RIP.

I was out of the country (and off the grid) when this happened.

RIP Mr. Mondale.
 

Opps.... thought I posted this in another thread. Apologies.
 
Seemed like a decent man.
 

One of the few Democrats I had deep respect for. A decent man in an indecent business, a model for any politician of today. His passing is sad, and I give a belated nod to a good man.

And for those who watched his debates live, his quip "Where's the beef" will live forever in political lore.

Yes, he was.
He was famous for being for a nuclear freeze, the equal rights amendment and less debt.
Whatever happened to Democrats who made sense?

They're probably all standing around using a funeral as an excuse to get a cheap shot in.
 
Oh no. I have nothing but good memories of Walter Mondale.

Some people just aren't made to be President. In the modern era, Presidents are seen and heard every day, and being a bit crazy is preferable to being a bit dull?
 
I couldn't stand Mondale. He was one of the biggest critics in Congress of the space program. IIRC at one time supported eliminating NASA entirely.

I don't get my opinions from movies (don't know what movie you are referencing in this instance anyway. )
It was mentioned in Dr. Robert Zubrins book "The Case for Mars" IIRC.

It's also wrong.
