Rep. Damschroder dies...Righty blogosphere silent

Submitted by J-Dog on Mon, 06/09/2008 - 1:06pm.

Gene Damschroder, an Ohio Republican state representative from Fremont for 10 years in the 1970s and 80s, and the father of Rep. Rex Damschroder, was killed in plane crash near his airport in Fremont on Sunday. The 86 year old legislator was controversial for his wing-nuttery, but was a fixture in the 81st Ohio House District.

I am stunned that the right wing of the Ohio Blogosphere has nothing to say about Rep. Damschroder's death. I expected a little more respect for the guy from the likes of Naugle and NixGuy...

Here are some links to the stories in the Fremont News-Messenger:

I forgot to mention that five passengers died with Damschroder, a WWII aviator. Even CNN.com covered the story last night.
