We had the goods on them, but John Glenn was designated the hatchet man. Glenn quibbled, bitched and moaned to trash, blur and slant everything, making it total chaos and fluster cluck.
His pay-off? Got a trip on Space Shuttle so he could set a record for oldest person ever aboard.
I guess John Glenn wasn't available this time...
Yep, Glenn put politics before honor on that fiasco and lost all respect from me.
