This is shocking news. I knew White and had tremendous respect for him as a person and as my former state Senator. This is a huge loss.
Can’t Bring Yourself to Type the Word “Ass”?
Eager to share our brilliant political commentary and blunt media criticism, but too genteel to link to horsesass.org? Well, good news, ladies: we also answer to HASeattle.com, because, you know, whatever. You're welcome!
I am so sorry to hear this.
Why do only Democratic politicians with talent and so much potential keep dying prematurely?

Senator Robert F. Kennedy

Senator White prematurely 41 due to a heart attack
Just think about all the Democrat politicians we have lost before their time. Many were extremely talented with so much potential to serve our country and this list of men all died prematurely.
There are no conclusions to this brief note, but please ponder.
I keep asking why.
Damn.
I just saw Scott Wednesday. I wished him well during the upcoming special session.
Scott was good to me.
This is pretty upsetting. RIP Scott White.
One of my high school teachers dropped dead of a heart attack at age 38 leaving behind a wife and young children. He was a chain smoker.
Now that government and medical profession efforts to discourage smoking and keep cigs away from children are stagnating the American market for addictive tobacco products, Big Tobacco is targeting Third World markets. I guess their theory is the world has too many people and all they do is fight with each other anyway. Maybe between cigarettes and AK-47s — the two most prolific products on the planet — we can still preserve some of what’s left of the environment.
I’ve never owned tobacco stocks, but not out of any sense of morality. I have no morals when it comes to making money; I “invest” like a Republican. (In this context, “invest” is a euphemism for speculating.) But what I really want to see is pot legalization so I can nvest in that. The potential returns are infinite.
That’s a fairly decent comment. I covered lots of bases in three short paragraphs: Heart attacks, dying young, widows and orphans, the folly of smoking cigarettes, the cruel exploitation of vulnerable people in Third World societies by ruthless American corporations, environmental preservation, investing, Republican immorality, and I even threw in a reference to pot legalization so Lee won’t delete it. I’m showing the trolls how professional propaganda is done.
My heartfelt condolences to the White family. It’s one of those things. My sister-in-law’s first husband was a lawyer who passed away of a heart attack at age 45. He was the picture of health, and was doing his daily jogging routine when it happened. None of us knows how long we’re here for, so what’s the point of living a greedy and selfish life, when you could be gone next week? Why not use your time here to help make the world a better place? Then your temporary presence in this world will have value, and your life will mean something to those you leave behind. That’s what Rep. White did in going the extra mile by being a Democratic legislator.
“John F Kennedy Jr. plane crash”
I didn’t realize John F. Kennedy Jr. was in the political arena. I thought he was the editor of a magazine called “George” when he crashed.
As far as I can remember, he never ran for anything, so how can he be thought of as a “politician?”
6. Politically Incorrect…really? that’s the part that bothers you? Typical troll….
Politically a douche bag:
JFK, Jr spoke at the 1988 Democratio convention and gave a very powerful speech. This talent and political potential died too soon. We ask why do the most talented Democrats seem to be dying prematurely.
Rest in Peace Senator White
