Re: Lyndon LaRouche
A classic American POS.
Yep, that's for sure.
I remember, maybe back in the '80s, when he would do these long (30-60 minute) rants that ran on late night TV. Entertaining.
Looking at things in 2019, LaRouche can't hold a candle to Trump as far as being completely nuts. Trump being president is as anomalous as LaRouche becoming president. We're in an alternate universe.

I liked him in McHale's Navy, but even more with Don Knots in Apple Dumpling Gang.
The talent to make people laugh is rare and valuable.
