Came upon this man quite by accident. He has a fascinating history. A politician who served in both houses of Congress - one quirky thing is how he initially got into each position. He was an attorney who was active in politics from the 50s to the 80s, though not in office after 1970.

Our man has a very well known son who actively works in one of the major pro sports.
The writer whose article I was reading believes our mystery man would turn over in his grave, were that possible, over some controversial actions the son has tolerated, made excuses for, or maybe encouraged in recent years.

This guy was exclaiming "d'oooh!" decades before anybody even heard of Homer Simpson. A comic foil to many of the greats and a very funny man in his own right.
