I have had a fair amount of respect for Simpson over the years. My limited exposure to him had me fooled.
I am baffled how these folks can destroy any respect you had for them in less than two sentences.
What a shame. At least I know this guy for what he is now.
At one time a typical WY Republican would have challenged one to a fist fight if he denigrated the once popular Alan Simpson, last reelected in 1990. Simpson tried to be Republican leader at one time. He retired early in 1997, replaced by Mike Enzi.
