bob: when i came to washington in 1969 things were a mess. the country was divided over vietnam and a wave of violence and taking the lives of two kennedys and martin luther king, jr., yet the government furngzed and congress was a better place. martithe senate was a place of giants, and a blend of old persuasion. democrat john stennis of mississippi was the conservative. republican jake jackobs of new york was a liberal, we have a hard line or defense and a liberal on social issues. hubert humphrey was a liberal, and republican goldwater was a hardcore conservative. they came and they went, but none of them left for the reasons given last week of snowthe moderate senator who said she was just tired of fooling with the modern senate with it's my way or the highway mentality. it was no longer a place to accomplish anything. snowe is not the first to say that, just the first to say it aloud, the senate will be the worse for her absence, but will survive. what does it say about politics when serious people conclude that serving in the united states senate is no longer worth their time and effort? that's the part that should worry the rest of us. back in a minute.
