Mea Culpa on that top comment. Reposted it without thinking too much, i.e. 'enough.' I should have known better.
I remember being a teenager and an enthusiastic volunteer for the Eugene McCarthy 'insurgent' presidential Peace campaign (in Wisconsin). He did very well and had quite a head of steam then Bobby joined the race and we know how everything turned out. A few short years ago I was listening to a university (progressive, leftist etc...) radio program and they played an interview with one of McCarthy's national campaign managers. His description of the campaign sounded quite chaotic and something Hunter Thompson could have turned into a novella. He also said the campaign was 'flush with CIA operatives who had oodles of cash.' I thought, 'WHAT?'
I've never gotten acclimated to the weirdness in everything and react naively even at my age.
