Frank Lautenberg
He was a Democratic Senator of the old school, and he wasn't afraid to call a spade a spade or a Republican governor an idiot. He worked up to the day before he died. He was also the last remaining WW II veteran in Congress, so his death really marks the end of an era.
Aside from the personal tragedy, his death at this time means that Governor Fucktard* gets to appoint a successor to finish out the term. God only knows what kind of disaster we're in for.
* Yes, it's an insensitive term. But I think we all know that I'm not mocking the mentally challenged in general, only Christie.
