Just call me Lucifer...'cause I'm in need of some restraint...
Props to the Stones for today's inspirational title Sympathy for the Devil
Today's LA Times has a very interesting article on McCarthyism and it's downfall.
With the 50th Anniversary of the McCarthy hearings this week, Kevin Drum of Washington Monthly has some interesting thoughts on the phrase uttered by Joseph Welch that brought down Joe McCarthy:
"Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?"
Drum also ponders whether or not National Review will use the anniversary to try and tell us that Joe wasn't so bad.
Frankly...anyone that parrots Ann Coulter is doing the work of the Dark Side of the Force. I'm hopeful that liberals in America will continue to ask the Welchesque question of those who try to sell the notion that Joe McCarthy was a decent and good guy who has merely been sullied. Not only is that an outright lie it's an insult to history.
