When I was a kid, the republicans ranted and raved that no descent person could vote for Adlai Stevenson because he was divorced. That changed when Regan ran.
I was flattered when I was carded when I was in my 40s. I said to the clerk, “Gee, do you really think I’m under 21?” He replied, “No, but I have to card everybody…even if they looked like they’re over 50.”
