Dunno about "brilliant" career. I've seen some things indicating that he
almost got himself kicked out.

There have been some fascinating articles in the Washington Post about him.
He comes across as slightly unbalanced. He had a habit of shooting off his
mouth and saying things that got him into trouble on the Hill, and then
breaking down into tears when confronted about them. It's a weird reaction.
Makes me wonder if he's bipolar.

Also interesting is what the psychiatrist hired by his defense team said
about him. She said that he developed megalomania after he was shot down in
Vietnam and then praised as a hero. She claims that this led him to believe
that he could do no wrong and that anything he did was justified. Uh huh.
Megalomania, huh? Perfect for Congress.
