Its easy for you guys to criticise him, I bet you wouldn' t do a damn thing to try and change things for the good of your family, at least this guy took a shot at it.

Wow, you know that some bystanders can actually sue the dead man's estate for this I think.

My law professor was talking about a case a while back of a guy, a topless woman, and a bystander. The bystander was minding his own business when out of the blue he sees some guy pull out a gun and shoot the topless woman to death. The man then turned the gun on himself. The bystander was so emotionally disturbed by the scene that he sued the dead man's estate for damages and won.

it could impact his sex life. everytime he says boobies now....just more cause for the extent of the emotional damage. Where as her being a pharmascist would not be notable to the psyche.

It made it extra traumatic since henceforth he always would associate boobies with death and that's just not right. Oh, sweet life-giving boobies.

There is actually a video of that one you can watch.

yeah- I remember watching (and hearing) the whole Budd Dwyer thing on TV. I was just a kid at the time and it was kind of traumatizing. Still makes me feel kind of weird thinking about it. My grandfather was in the House or Representatives with him and said he was a nice quiet guy. Gotta watch the quiet ones I suppose.

It was just a detail to flesh out the story.
