Thomas Dodd was scandaled out of office, yet his son, Chris, can go to Nicaragua and negotiate a separate peace with a COMMIE dictator in 1984 with Bianca Jagger and that is ok....
At the time the Senate censured Thomas Dodd, I was a kid and thought he deserved it. Now I'm not so sure. He criticized JFK for not taking a harder line against Castro. Then he went after Fulbright for being a dove and supported Nixon's Viet Nam policy.
Did the anti-American Democrats who were in the process of taking over the party do him in? I saw Dodd briefly in 1970 when, after not receiving the Democrat nomination, he ran for Senate as an Independent. He looked like hell. A year later, he was dead.
What is your take on the events?
