This is the city: Los Angeles, California. I work here. I'm an ex-mayor. Los Angeles is a magnet for people from all over the world. Some of them run for public office. Inevitably some of them stray from the golden rule and rule for those that have the gold. That's when I go to work. My name is Yorty. I'm a dead pol.
On this day in 1954, the United States Senate voted 65 to 22 to condemn Joseph McCarthy for "conduct that tends to bring the Senate into dishonor and disrepute."

The rest of the world is laughing at America!
Say what you will about his tactics and his crude use of props and his tendency to showboat, the guy was on to something.
Unappreciated in his time, (like a certain President), the man helped establish the awareness of the evils in the world out to get us.
R.I.P. Joe. I hope you don't have to share a cloud with Roy Cohen.
I agree with Phil. This guy showed that even democracy can be ravaged by unchecked nationalism. His tactics struck at the very heart of our constitution and inalienable rights. We should never forget him.
