chamber the very day one of them, senator ralph flanders of vermont, introduced a motion to censure joseph mccarthy. when it eventually passed 67 to 22, mccarthy was finished. he soon disappeared from the front pages, and three years later, he was dead. it all came back the other night, as congressman west summoned those foul spirits from the vasty deep. the ghost stepped out of the past. like mccarthy, the more allen west is challenged about his comments, the more he doubles down on them. now he's blaming the corrupt liberal media for stirring the pot against him -- a trick for which mccarthy taught the master class. and the congressman's latest fusillades continue to distort the beliefs and policies of those he smears -- no surprise there, either. and to help him continue his fight for the heart and soul of america, he's asking his supporters for a contribution of $10 or more. there could even be a super pac in this, with mccarthy's ghost as its honorary chairman. plenty of kindred spirits are out there to sign on. like the author of the book "the grand jihad" who wrote that whether the president

their post-presidency because they detested eisenhower for his refusal -- refusal to stand up to joseph mccarthynd the disastrous bay of pigs invasion in 1961, kennedy had invited the white eisenhower to camp david to talk about how it went wrong. it was a fascinating look at the relationship and discussions that taken place over the years between sitting presidents and their predecessors and the role of former president today is the subject of the "time magazine" cover story. about two weeks ago, we covered jon stored in a conversation with bill clinton, part of the clinton global initiative and this is part of that program. "road to the white house" [video clip]journ >> what to to learn this weekend? >> we had many non-american students. the students can all the way from where they are in school. i learned all over again that all these young people, partly because of the social media and internet communications generally, have a much more global perspective on a person to person basis than any generation before. the second thing i learned is there every year, their commitments are getting bett

. >> president mccarthy, the morning. my name is joseph butler, a member of the american institute of architects and insull prior to a record for partnership and business here for 25 years. we are the appellant in this case on the screen, if i could is our exhibit 2. the san francisco building code is quoted here. when one wants to commence work on an expired permit where the work had not started, exhibit 2, page one of the brief, the third section down, it states the new application as required, and the new permit shall be obtained, not renewal. there is no word renewal with reference to a building permit. you can renew the boiler permits an electrical permits, but nowhere in this in francisco building permit is the word redo it used. and the authority of the building official in the state of california to review a nine- year-old permit does not exist. everything that has happened since that renewal has been an attempt to show the process as being done. we have this and that, but you cannot get an invalid permit and make it better, give i
