"Bill Weld Will Be Remembered as a Republican Who Stood Up and Walked the Walk"

"DES MOINES, IOWA—The week's humidity finally was being wrung out of the clouds in big, steady drops on Sunday afternoon at the Iowa State Fair, and Bill Weld was telling a guy about how much he, Bill Weld, likes rain. The man was from Seattle. "You're from Seattle? I love Seattle because I love rain. I have a lot of drizzly November in my soul," said Bill Weld, because he's Bill Weld, and, to those of us who are longtime Bill Weld watchers, we know that any casual conversation with him about anything can take a wrenching turn into, say, the opening chapter of Moby-Dick. ..."

After the fluffy intro, there's more meat, below, e.g., "Weld seemed to make a career of marking himself lousy with the rising conservative movement in the GOP.  He quit a job as assistant attorney general under Reagan's crony, Ed Meese, and then testified against Meese in a hearing investigating the latter's corruption in office. ...".
.
Although Meese was never convicted in the Bechtel, Wedtech or other scandals, all of the reports criticized Meese's serious ethical lapses (i.e., corruption). "While Meese was never convicted of any wrongdoing, he resigned in 1988 when the independent counsel delivered the report on Wedtech. Prior to his resignation, several top Justice Department officials resigned in protest of what they and others viewed as improper acts by the Attorney General."
