    Not to mention a U.S. Senator from 1994 to 2003.

    I'm always still in trouble again

      Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom

        I loved him in Law and Order.

          From Rich Galen (who worked with Fred during his presidential campaign):
          Source: Mullings.com

          [W]hen it came to meeting with people, with doing the hand shaking and the picture taking, he lit up and made every person feel as if the trip to see "Arthur Branch" was worth it.

          •Speaking of Arthur Branch, I had never seen him in an Law & Order episode prior to my going to work for him.

          •One night, in some town on the trail, I happened to come across a rerun. Lo and behold, there was Fred.

          •It was an episode in which Fred, as Branch, was complaining that he had been mentioned in a U.S. Supreme Court decision, but only as a footnote, not in the main body of the decision.

          •The next morning I told Fred I had seen him and he said that had been the very first episode he had ever been in. He told me that he realized that, because he was a Republican (in the show as in real life) the Hollywood writers wanted to present him as a buffoon.

          •When he finished shooting the scene, he said, he told the producers he wouldn't play that role and if they wanted him they had to show him making the kinds of close calls and difficult decisions that the DA's office often had to deal with.

              Just figured that it was probably his most notable achievement

              From everything I've heard about him over the years he was truly a great guy.
