I was so excited about reaching nine thousand posts today that I told KC. This was his reaction.

Can't tell if he was yawning and/or laughing. But, as "they" say it's all good.

I still think you were a clear choice in 1972. 😂

from Wikipedia

"As a senator, McGovern was the epitome of modern American liberalism. He became most known for his outspoken opposition to the growing U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. He staged a brief nomination run in the 1968 U.S. presidential election as a stand-in for the assassinated Robert F. Kennedy. The subsequent McGovern–Fraser Commission fundamentally altered the presidential nominating process, by increasing the number of caucuses and primaries and reducing the influence of party insiders."

P.S. had to stretch the zoom all the way out to its 24mm limit to get all of him in-frame. But he's a Good Kitty, in fact you could call him KCQGK and be on the mark.
