Mitt Willard appears to be more of his father's son than i realized. Gorgeous George was an opinionated horses terminal orifice famed for his seething with rage walkout from the 64 GOP Convention. He also displayed his famed charm when Barry Goldwater came to Michigan to address a large rally in the Detroit area. Gorgeous George with stonefaced contempt walker to the mike and said “The Republican candidate for President of the United States.” Then stalked back and sat with an expression of boiling anger with his arms tightly folded throughout Goldwater’s speech and at the end made it a point to very publicly stalk off the platform deliberately turning his back on Goldwater as he left. It was the most unpleasant public performance by a major political figure i have ever seen. Gorgeous George made Dennis Kucinich look like a model of mannerly decorum. Willard seems to have picked up the stiff necked self-righteousness from his old man.

Thanks for this bit of information.

I remember the ‘64 election and my father’s negative opinion of George Romney and Nelson Rockerfeller. We were a very enthusiatic group of Goldwater supporters.
