Episode #56: The 2014 Remembrances Special




Ken Rudin's Political Junkie show

Summary: It's the time of year when, upon reflecting over the politics of 2014, we also remember those in the political world who passed from the scene. Janet Hook of the Wall Street Journal and Alan Ehrenhalt of Governing magazine sit down with us for our 2014 Political Junkie Remembrances Special, where we listed some of the more memorable politicians, journalists, staffers and historical figures who died in 2014. From giants, like former Senate Majority Leader Howard Baker, Florida Gov. Reubin Askew, Washington D.C. Mayor Marion Barry and Tom Menino of Boston, to headline-makers like Ohio Congressman James Traficant, White House press secretary James Brady, Vermont Senator James Jeffords, and Mayor Jane Byrne of Chicago, and many more, we hear about their legacies from those who knew them best.
