Elites in Washington and elsewhere are mourning the political demise yesterday of a man they inevitably describe as a “statesman” – Senator Richard Lugar of Indiana, who lost his bid for reelection in a primary fight with conservative State Treasurer Richard Murdoch.
We are about to get another dose of Sen. Lugar’s brand of statesmanship. He will join Massachusetts’ liberal Democratic Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry in trying to jam through the U.S. Senate an obsolete, ill-advised and sovereignty-sapping accord called the Law of the Sea Treaty – better, and appropriately, known as LOST.
Thankfully, Republican voters of Indiana had enough of Dick Lugar’s help enacting an agenda favored by the transnational Left. Now we must keep him from doing so with respect to LOST in his final months in office.
