That "man of exceptional character and grace" was a member of the Keating Five.
The people I was with were saying they were sorry to him and that I was not an employee so they could not "fire my ass" as he had just told them to. We walked out of the building and as soon as the door closed behind us the guys I was with busted out laughing and told me that they all wanted to talk to Glenn that way.
Glenn sucks!
Thanks for telling it like it is... we need more of that!

After reading this story, I have to agree with you.
John Glenn was indeed a liberal Senator, but thinking back I don’t remember him being nasty or subversive and even though I am as right as right can be I can see the difference between being liberal and those that liberally hate America.
The Bush family, the ENTIRE Bush family are on government "welfare" and always have been. You can include "W" who made a mint off the Texas stadium deal. Barbara is as bad as any of them. They have their hands in so many companies it would make your head spin.
After reading your and many other posts here, I need to walk back my post 44, just a bit. I had forgotten his thing with Klintoon, which definately brings up a saying from an old boss, “one Ah-shit, wipes out a thousand Attaboys”, which is certainly fitting for “Senator” Glenn.
I apologize for that. I grew up in the '60s and John Glenn was my boyhood hero. I have been a "space nut" all my life and had the great fortune to work at the Kennedy Space Center for 12 years.
The day I spent with the Senator and his wife was one of the best days of my life outside the birth of my sons. When you called him an a-hole I took offense. I shouldn't have.
Again, I apologize for my comment.
I admire John Glenn, but he is also the very picture of a man who compartmentalized his politics from his profession. He bought his seat on the Space Shuttle by coming to the ludicrous defense of the White House and Hillary Clinton during the Amato banking hearings back in the ‘90’s.
Spoken like a gentleman, accepted.

He doesn't have to be - he's got a Senator's vote.
So he can be polite, refined, respectful, attentive, caring, sensitive, and vote our missile secrets to China, before getting home for an early dinner with a vintage wine and then going to the theatre.
Thanks. I used to think a lot of Glenn.
My dad used to say it the same way.
Big Media certainly holds Republicans to a high standard of conduct. I do no less for Democrats.
Selling out one’s country is a biggie, ESPECIALLY if one is a “hero”.
I'm pretty sure he bought the seat by blocking Fred Thompson's investigation into the China money. (Glenn had help from some other senator).
Both Glenn (and McCain) should have been booted out of the Senate, if not imprisoned, for corruption in the 1980s S&L mess.

It is grievous that such a man took the wrong side in politics, though i suppose he would be considered a moderate relative to the standards today as the liberal revolution seeks to institutionalize its fantasy, but i would not want even to send even a liberal to Hell.
Consider that the Chinese can now threaten American cities like Los Angeles with nuclear annihilation due to the efforts of John Glenn and his party members selling out their country. You might think differently.
