One of the best political history books I've ever read was David Oshinsky's A Conspiracy So Immense, a biography of "Tail Gunner" Joe McCarthy. Of course, McCarthy was never a tail gunner, but you wouldn't know that if you just listened to him. The book is a very good read.

I haven't watched this in ages. I think it is on VHS. I don't think we moved it over to DVD-R.

By and large, Cruz doesn't attack people personally; his victims don't receive the same sympathy as McCarthy's.

Should be asked of all the Republican presidential hopefuls
