“Didnt Joe McCarthy do something like this back in the day? Promised all sorts of things that would shake up the political world and in the end, he had nothing.”

Joe McCarthy made a lot of outlandish accusations which were ignored (some) or investigated (some) and were found to be nearly 100% correct, some as recently as 1994 or so (Vedona papers or something like that, intercepts of Soviet communications).
Even though I am late to the Ball, I am having Vapors with all this positive talk of Joe.
