News
Hie debate, if you want to call it that, in the U.S. Senate over the
nomination of former Texas Senator John Tower as Secretary of
Defense has been interesting to say the least. The big-time news
predictions of his quick rejection have not turned true and at
mid-week this week, he yet remains alive and kicking. Again,
kicking, may not be the exact word. Senator Tower has not taken
his trashing lightly and has put up a spirited defense. He went
eye-to-eye with a pair of “reporters” on Face The Nation Sunday
and clearly left the so-called interviewers in shambles. In fact, his
quick and sharp answers so confused Leslie Stahl that she
reverted to fragmented sentences and became a "sniping" voice
in the background of the interview. Tower also caught the other
character in a slipup of facts about missile deployment decisions.
He didn’t look like, appear like, or act like a drunk, or even a
reformed one. By standing tall and not wimpering away, he has
made some of the Senators very nervous. Senator Hollings
seemed to be as jumpy as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs
with his arm waving and bellering. The fight over the nomination
has been a good thing. It flushed out some Senators who came off
as hypocrites. It finished off any national hope for Ted Kennedy. It
got Senator Sam Nunn a nickname - “Ole Wreck and Runn”. It
even put some backbone in Republican Senators who have
submitted to whippings in the past. As for Nunn - the Senator from
Georgia who had Presidential aspirations - looks like he blew his
chance with the constant need to defend his judgement. In an
editorial comment distributed nationally, James J. Kilpatrick
called Nunn a “sanctimonious prig” which is not a presidential
endorsement. Nunn has also picked up additional baggage with
his repeated indication of a “I'll believe anything you whisper in
my ear” attitude. If the debate lasts another couple of weeks, we
ought to really see some squirming. Senator Tower has fought a
tough fight. He deserves to win this one.
