Joan Walsh Upgrades On McGovern

I've never really thought much of Joan Walsh.  Whenever she's on the tee vee, I always get the feeling she's trying to guess the magic words that will get her Tweety's job, but this McGovern obit is getting mad props for good reason.  She does a great job of placing the man, his life, and his political career in its proper historic context, as well as highlighting the very important self destruction of the left wing of the Democratic Party.  Funny how that all happened right around the time the country started going down the shitter.  The early 70's were the peak of wages, standard of living, and included a lunatic criminal Republican president who governed to left of Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.  Go figure...
