Former Sen. John Glenn (D-OH) died today at the age of 95, the Columbus Dispatch reports.
Glenn was a true American hero for his service as a combat fighter pilot and an astronaut, but he wasn’t a bad politician either. He won election to the U.S. Senate four times and ran for president in 1984.
One of his more interesting political moments was his response to Democratic primary opponent Howard Metzenbaum, who accused Glenn of never having a real job.
