Ike Skelton died? [View all]

My digital TV has not been working, so I have not watched the news in a while.

So I was kinda surprised when KMBC news mentioned the late Ike Skelton.

17 terms in the House. I think that is too long. It's too bad he could not have retired instead of being defeated. Plus six years in the State Senate. 40 years in political office.
