    Ive always thought that it was classic Tunney, who grew up a longshoremans son in the heart of New York, that he affected an upper class Connecticut accent later in life. The guy was the definition of a social climbing phony.

    A reincarnation of Jim Corbett if ever there was one!

    They were both pretty efficacious at rewriting history as well!

    Now see Corbett sounds like George Burns to me, which is about right since they were about the same age. LOL

    It is a striking phenomenon in all branches of history, that the person that lives the longest, writes the history books!
