No, that their crap is dried and impacted. A surgeon would be needed to extract it.

Woody strikes out again.

Hey Jim, it’s all that stage training.

This might hold true if the humor is belittling to me. On the other hand, when I’m laughing at you, which is generally the case, maybe it’s time to consider your own life and beliefs.

I think you’ve presented good summaries of the period and the man (and historical truths). I suspect that the importance of Gene McCarthy in Alabama was different than it was at Berkeley, likely because LBJ was associated heavily with civil rights issues in the South and to a lesser degree with problems in Vietnam– and, this resulted in different perceptions of McCarthy’s impact on LBJ and the period. Plus, college football always was more important in Alabama than protesting. But, time and more information has a way of smoothing out the distinctions in perceptions.

He seemed like a big deal at the time, to me. Then again, I was young and impressionable, and moreover living in the People’s Republic of Berkeley, which had broken off diplomatic relations with the U.S. at that point.

He was significant as a stalking horse for the anti-war vote, because he decided to go after the incumbent president from his own party and did surprisingly well — he trailed LBJ by only 7 points in New Hampshire, and this couldn’t have been very encouraging for LBJ, who announced only a few weeks afterward that he wouldn’t seek reelection. He won Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Oregon, though not Indiana or California, where Bobby’s star was rising — and Bobby really DID want to be president, whereas you had to wonder about McCarthy. You also really have to wonder if Bobby would have even tried, if McCarthy hadn’t shown the cracks in the LBJ edifice.

I think LBJ really wanted to go down in history as a major president, with lots of progress seen over two terms. But he was also realistic enough to see that he wouldn’t be able to pull it off in an American split three or four different ways, with a lot of the fissures running right through his own party, one of them opened by his Vietnam policies.

McCarthy’s significance was primarily in exposing the Vietnam rift relatively early. You can argue that a Nixon victory might have been inevitable anyway, but … what if Sirhan Sirhan had missed, or had only wounded Bobby?

What if, what if, what if … you can play this game forever. (What if Joe Kennedy junior hadn’t died in that mission over Europe?) We got the history we got, and McCarthy had a part in it that *felt* remarkable at the time — the Time of the Assassins, let’s not forget. The fires burning at the time illuminated some faces and ignited some passions that we might not have noticed very much otherwise. Besides, if might-have-beens don’t matter, why do people still think Malcom X mattered? We can’t all be heroes, so the most significant examples of courage are really about changes of heart.

“of Third Rock from the Sun.” I spent years on that show too. Never learned any theory there.

Good line…

The paragraph after that, however, is overwhelming proof that you should stick to humor.

The idea of “laughing to keep from crying” was central to his work….

Just to say something about Gene McCarthy, I use to think that LBJ gave up because he was tired of the job and the attacks, and I didn’t put much importance into the anti-war candidate. Did I overlook McCarthy’s importance at the time or are we attributing too much importance to him at his death?

I guess folks missed Hoot Gibson in “The Gay Buckaroo”, Cisco Kid in “The Gay Amigo” and Roy Rogers in “The Gay Ranchero”…
