I guess you weren't here for the Ted Stevens thread where some cons and a few progressives said it Stevens was a great public servant and that mentioning how he disgraced his very own service was irrelevant and an attack on Stevens.
The point is a man/woman who is a public servant and who serves well, but ends their career in disgrace does not get to clean the slate in death.
Rostenkowski admitted in life, that he would be remembered for all his actions in death.
It goes with the territory. Public life, public disgrace...
politicians are generally about as moral as gangsters......
FOX News has mentioned "Former Rep. Dan Rostenkowski, the Chicago Democrat who became the leading architect of congressional tax policy in the Reagan era but later went to federal prison for corruption, died Wednesday, a family friend said." -http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/08/11/illinois-rep-rostenkowski-reportedly-dies/
but unlike the cry babies concern over mentioning Ted Stevens' troubles (http://www.usmessageboard.com/current-events/128225-ted-stevens-dead-in-plane-crash-in-alaska.html), the Chicago Democrat said he knew "that my obituary will say, 'Dan Rostenkowski, felon,' and it is something that I have to live with,"' he said in a 1998 broadcast interview with Robert Novak and Mark Shields.
now that's a man to admire.
he did disgrace himself and his profession, but he moved on.

You do realize that the article you quoted from Fox was actually an Associated Press article, right? Did the Associated Press attack Rostenkowski? This same article is on most every news source, CNBC, ABC, NPR, Time, etc. Were all these news outlets attacking him as well?
Explain to me how telling the truth about someone is an attack.

Wow, you guys are really fuck'n slow.
Here, let me spell it out for you,it's called... s-a-r-c-a-s-m
d-bag posted this as a sarcastic reminder that many of this board's cons accused libs of attacking Stevens for merely mentioning his wrongdoings.
geesh!

If the aim is to hurt, it is. Telling the truth is not an end all, be all virtue. Many times it can be used as a weapon. Who hasn't had someone bring up ancient history during an argument? Using truth in a hurtful manner is actually a sin according to Sister Mary Everynun-I've-ever-known!![]()

I didn't realize AP News was "conservative."
I didn't realize Stevens had been convicted and sent to prison, unlike Rosty.
So much for moral equivalence. You are either a complete dolt or an uber hack.
The douchebagh Rabbi is avoiding the point about the right always whining about their victimhood, while Rosty acted like a man and took responsibility.FOX News has mentioned "Former Rep.
