...He recalled receiving a phone call in 1972 from his campaign manager, someone named Gary Hart, saying he'd come upon a bright, young man in Arkansas named Bill Clinton who had a hardworking friend named Hillary Rodham and they both were going to work Texas for McGovern.
"There's nothing in politics," said McGovern, "that requires more courage than trying to sell George McGovern in Texas." The crowd roared. McGovern praised the entire current field of Democratic candidates and said he hoped to live long enough to see an African American president. But, he added, "We have an old rule of courtesy in the United States: ladies first." Another crowd roar.

I just realized that there is ONE benefit from the she-devil getting elected, that we have probably been overlooking. Once she is coronated, she’ll no longer have any need for the Bent One, and he will probably end up on the Klinton death list. There’s an irony and a plus.
I don’t think SD will go for HRC, but she may win forty states, including AZ, VA, MT, and CO.
Anyone else notice all the losers coming out of the woodwork to support Hilliarity?
Wonder if an FBI file has something to do with this.
Yeah, you’re right. McGovern was contemptuous of the electorate after 1972, but he lacks the dark bilious America-hatred of Jimmah.
But I will never forgive McGovern for saying in 1972 that he would go on his knees to Hanoi to beg the release of the POWs.
I was flying helicopters in Vietnam in 1972 and I swear the S%#T from the ground got worse after his idiotic statement. Then he shows up in Saigon and calls for the overthrowal of the current RVN government. McGovern was no help to us in country at all.
Even if all he is now is just another doddering harmless old leftie fart.

McGovern is still dead
Lol, he doesn’t know it though as he’s the United Nations global ambassador on hunger.
Got food?
Didn’t I see pictures a few years back in which one might construe that B.J. was endorsing G.M.’s daughter?
