Who knew there would be a test for just how much of each is acceptable?

The old school Strom Thurmond, Jesse Helms, Pat Robertson types sounded like they were out there but somehow straddled that mythical line.

Joe McCarthy and Roy Cohn were too much, but those who operated in the shadow of their excesses by continuing their works in lasting company and government policies were not?
