R.I.P. Sen. James Rhoades
 Advertisements [?]

A longtime Pennsylvania state senator has died after his Cadillac collided head-on with a truck.

Legislative leaders say Sen. James Rhoades died Saturday. He and his wife, Mary, were taken to a hospital after the crash Friday.

Senate aides say Mary Rhoades' injuries were not believed to be life-threatening. The accident is being investigated.

The 66-year-old Republican had served for seven terms and was chairman of the Education Committee. He was campaigning for an eighth term.

A Senate Republican spokesman says the party would have to get a court's permission to remove Rhoades' name from the ballot and replace him.

He started in the Senate in 1981 and represents northeastern Pennsylvania's coal country.

4 replies in an hour and a half.  At least those were decent ones.

Prayers for the family and those that loved this man.  I hope his wife does survive.

If it was Jack Murtha they'd be calling for Congressional hearings and issuing subpeonas for Bush, Rove, and Cheney. A distinguished Democrat couldn't die in a car accident without it being a Rovian plot.

It's the DU method of ferreting out moles that just can't hold back.

Amazing restraint on the part of the DUmmies. Not even a single one wanting to sodomize his corpse with a broom the way they wanted to do when Reagan died.
