Helen Chenowith is dead — and was irresponsible to the end:

Former Congresswoman Chenowith-Hage Dies in Nevada

Helen Chenoweth-Hage, a conservative Republican firebrand who served three terms as an Idaho congresswoman, was killed Monday when thrown from a car that overturned on an isolated central Nevada highway.

Chenoweth-Hage was a passenger in the S-U-V-type vehicle that flipped just before noon on State Route 376, the main route between her Pine Creek Ranch, in Monitor Valley, and Tonopah.

The Nevada Highway Patrol says the 68-year-old victim was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver, daughter-in-law Yelena Hage, and her 5-month-old son Bryan weren’t seriously injured.

N-H-P Trooper Rocky Gonzalez says Chenoweth-Hage was holding the baby and wasn’t wearing a seatbelt. …

Claims to fame: Hypocrite; divorcée; adulterer; liar

Moral apex: Divorcée romped in the sheets for six years with very-much-married anti-government right-winger Vernon Ravenscroft. Then lied about it. Then lied about lying about it. But she says it’s all okay, because God’s forgiven her.

Punch line: This big-time (and big-haired) Clinton-hater ran an attack ad against her Democratic rival Dan Williams, who didn’t lie about his one-time marital infidelity (and got crucified for it).

Memorable quote:

“Our founding fathers knew that political leaders’ personal conduct must be held to the highest standards. President Clinton’s behavior has severely damaged his ability to lead our nation, and the free world. To restore honor in public office, and the trust of the American people, we must affirm that personal conduct does count, and integrity matters. Where do you stand, Dan?”

Suggested Bible reading for Ms. Chenoweth:

For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit. She also lieth in wait as for a prey, and increaseth the transgressors among men.

— Proverbs 23:27-28
