Henry Hyde, R.I.P.

Henry Hyde died today at age 83. He had heart bypass surgery last July, and never quite recovered.

He was a gentleman, and he will be missed. Condolences to his family, friends, and constituents.

National Review Online has several articles about Congressman Hyde, such as this one.

I remember Henry Hyde being introduced during the Clinton impeachment trial, during one of the few parts I watched. Justice Renquist said something to the effect of, "The Senate recognizes Mr. Hyde." How Mr. Hyde resisted the urge to crack a joke about Dr. Jekyll I'll never know.
