| I may need to have a Volconvo feed on my work computer; first I read about Richard Pryor and now McCarthy here and heard nothing about either all day.
My own McCarthy memory: in 1968 I was dating a girl from Minnesota. I wasn't sure who I liked better in the election that year. Gail convinced me that McCarthy hadn't been a very good Senator, and I didn't really care for Humphrey, so I wound up supporting Nixon and actually voting for him in 1972.
I have been living with the shame of that action ever since.
So thanks, Eugene, for indirectly causing me to help put that crook in office.
(Seriously, I'm very saddened to hear of his death. I later learned he was a very kind and intelligent man.) |
