        We sure could use ole "give em hell Harry" today couldn't we? I heard the stories from my parents. Sounds like he was pretty straight forward.

        Didn't Truman have a habit of drafting scathing letters only not to send them? If I remember correctly, it is said that he found the process of writing the letter satisfying, but didn't need to spark outrage with the delivery.

        Nice turn of phrase. Mr. McCarthy was a despicable wretch who destroyed lives and infected the people of the USA with paranoia (a serious mental illness) from which they have never recovered .

        Is this something in the public domain? Can we just copy it over and over again?

        Roger Stone life history is filled by Mean Spirited, underhanded Dirty Tricks, to discredit anyone in his wake, good & decent people like Ed Muskie & his Wife, like Mario Cuomo, bringing in NJ Motorcycle Gangs to intimidate & frighten people. It was Roger who instigated Rus ties.
