After his apology he then voted against the 1964 Civil Rights act, and managed to funnel over a billion dollars to his home state to build projects that were mostly named after him, and were quite often pointless. (e.g. they had a coast guard office.... in a land locked state). This was due to the fact that he stayed chairman of the Senate Appropriations committee for decades!
Total scumbag classic career politician. He is the kind of person that we can never let stay in office again. He is a classic example of why we need term limits.
I'm sorry for his family, but I'm happy for the country.
