He was a hero when I was a small boy. Too bad he became a total dork and kneepadder when krinton rallied the RATs to his defense. I called his office and told them as much. They asked if I lived in his district. When I told them no, they hung up.

John Glenn is my relative. Even though he was a Democrat, I am still proud of him.

John Glenn joined the proud, surviving veterans of NASA’s Project Mercury who didn't try selling out their country just to get another ride on Saturday in celebrating the 50th anniversary of his historic orbital flight.
