I am too frequently a critic of Congress, but I must give tribute to departing Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WVA). I had the great good fortune of meeting with him personally and testifying before his committee, with the good Senator at the helm. He was truly a distinguished, gifted and empathetic legislator. This son of enormous privilege was neither a blowhard nor a populist poseur. He loved the people he served, and he served them so well, and he had true compassion (accompanied by advocacy and action) for our nations poor. He also understood national security and cared about outcomes. He understood the world. He was not afraid to show that he was well traveled, well educated and refined. Another light just went out on Capitol Hill.
