4. I have a hard time sympathizing. |

He was retired and away from influencing the public. Sure he was corrupt in his day, and I have no problems cheering someone's public downfall. However I find your comment on the ending of his life to be in poor taste.
I hope he passed peacefully and painlessly, and hope that he learned from the mistakes he made earlier in his life.
