A Sense of Decency

For John, BLUF:  The loss of civility in DC is appalling .  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Eviscerating Kavanaugh:  Sen. Feinstein, have you no sense of decency?

From The Chicago Tribune, by Contact Reporter John Kass, 19 September 2018.

Here is a key paragraph:

You’d hear about it in tales told by history teachers to frighten children, about Republican Sen. Joe McCarthy and his wild, unsubstantiated charges without evidence, of communists hiding under America’s beds.

US Army lawyer Joseph Welch did ask of Senator Joseph McCarty, "Have you no sense of decency, sir?  At long last, have you left no sense of decency?"

Yeah, about that, there is the thought that the Venona Papers suggest that "Tail Gunner Joe" McCarthy wasn't all wrong.

But, yes, I am embarrassed for my Mother, a Democrat, that she lived her last years in Rancho Mirage, but not as an immediate neighbor of Senator Feinstein and her husband.

UPDATE:  Corrected Spelling error in title.

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
