I had to click the link to ascertain that Waterbury is in Connecticut -- though that was my guess, based on the familiar reference to Chris Dodd.

In the 80's, I was convinced that Chris Dodd was KGB -- real-deal KGB, like disgraced newsman Sam Jaffa and Alger Hiss.

I also thought the same about Bill Fulbright, based on the pattern of his politicking, and I wondered about Wayne Morse of Oregon, too. I never guessed Ted Kennedy, but it would appear from the book (there was another thread on this a few days ago emphasizing the identification of Sen. Tunney as a KGB mole) that Ted Kennedy was the ringleader of the whole bunch. That would explain just a whole lot of things over the years.

Now we need a new book, titled something like Red Caucus, about traitors in the United States Congress and their allies and fellow-travelers in the press and politics.

Ann Coulter stated in her book (and of course I agree with her) that McCarthy erred in his estimation of the number of communists in government, in that he under estimated.
