        @BeschlossDC @jmartNYT Joe was right about Communists in government. Wish he'd gotten a few more.

        @BeschlossDC Sadly much of this letter applies to the current governor of Wisconsin.

        @BeschlossDC @SupremeDickhead Obama could easily re-purpose this letter today just by changing the name.

        @SupremeDickhead @BeschlossDC While Ron Johnson fills the blank I probably should have said change the state name too. I was thinking Texas.

        @SupremeDickhead @BeschlossDC If Ted Cruz was a few years older you could swear he's Joe McCarthy's illegitimate son.

        @BeschlossDC @PhillipsPasha 65 Years ago the Alger Hiss trial was happening. McCarthy was correct about the commies, if a tad imprudent.
