How laughable. Scoop Jackson was not a democRAT in today's mold and his concerns about our defense was quite republican. Jackson was not a looney lefty by any means and no one working for him can be legitimately discredited thereby. And it was 30 yrs ago making it even less relevent to anything. For that matter, in 1970 Ted Kennedy wasn't a Democrat in today's mold either. If you go back and look at the U.S. Senate in that era, you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who was a "looney lefty" by today's standards. What's your point?
I care what President Bush thinks of him and if he is OK by George that is good enough for me.

Jackson was a conservative democrat. Teddy has always been a leftist kook. Maybe you aren't old enough to know what was what in 1970. But there were plenty of Leftists in Congress at that time.
My point is you are spreading falsehoods about Senator Jackson and there is nothing dishonorable about having worked for him.
