Former 8th district Congressman Jay Johnson died Saturday of an apparent heart attack. A family spokesperson says Johnson, a former television anchor at WLUK-TV, was at home in suburban Washington D.C. when he collapsed. His wife JoLee was with him when he died. Johnson was 66 years old.

Very sad.

2. Oh, that's just wrong.

For the first time since he lost his seat to Green, his name came up in a conversation I had with some local Dems on Thursday or Friday.

Now I'm creeped out.

3. He stood up for Clinton front and center during the impeachment circus

the Repugs put on and was punished for it in the next election (Mark Green, I think). To Clinton's credit, he appointed J.Johnson to a position with the U.S. Treasury Dept. to compensate for his loss due to blow-back.

He was a really nice man, a good news anchor, and a staunch Democrat. A sad loss for sure.
