[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think he is the most genuinely decent, kindly, perceptive member of Congress of my adult life, we agree with his bills and votes somewhere in between 95 and 100%, and my family and I will sincerely miss him.  Yes, I mean every word.

Yes, he is SO kind and decent.

Among the things he has done:
[quote]In a 1995 battle between two corrupt politicians, Moran scuffled with Rep. Duke Cunningham (just freed from prison last year!) on the House Floor:

Late Friday, Moran pushed Cunningham from behind as they were leaving the House chambers and then took a swing at him, which Cunningham blocked. “He sucker-punched me,” Cunningham said.
During a 2002 congressional hearing, Moran screamed “I’ll break your nose!” at Indiana Republican Rep. Dan Burton.

There was the time the police were called for a domestic incident:

In June 1999, his wife called the cops on him during an argument in which she claims the former boxer grabbed her. Moran, who told police he was only trying to restrain his wife, avoided arrest and no charges were ultimately filed in criminal court. But his wife filed for divorce the following day.
That same year he went after a kid in a parking lot:

Perhaps it was the stress of being in the top 5 percent of income earners, yet broke, that caused him to freak out while visiting an after-school center in Alexandria, Virginia last April. Moran, at this time driving a 1999 Toyota Avalon paid for with campaign contributions, was accused of inappropriately handling an eight-year- old, who he collared and brought to justice after the little tyke tried to carjack Moran. Moran said he feared the bulge in the boy’s pocket was a gun – how was he to know it was actually a baby bottle full of candy? – and that the kid threatened to shoot him if Moran didn’t hand over the car keys. Moran challenged the child’s parenting in the press. The kid’s mom challenged Moran’s judgment.[/quote][/quote]
