Quick take: Rest with Knife, Rep. Don Young (R-AK)

 Rep. Don Young (R-AK) died.  Of the many things that can be said about him, the most important is that he once held a knife to Speaker John Boehner's (R-OH) throat.  And Boehner stared him down like Clint Eastwood.  The party moved on.  A case can be made that Marjorie Taylor Greene and the other wackos of the party today are actually more harmless than Don Young.  After all, none of them, to my knowledge, have actually, literally held a deadly weapon to a fellow Member of Congress.  See?  This is actually improvement.  You didn't realize that, did you?  Greene is basically just a loudmouthed idiot.  Don Young?  That dude was scary.

Young asked to be buried with his whetstone and a strop.  His biopic will be directed by Lynn Thompson.
