Ah, Everett Dirksen, the very man who broke the Dem filibuster of the Civil Rights Amendment in 1964, and got it passed, with the generous thanks of LBJ, who had no such praise for his own party.
Golden age indeed.
Don't forget the 80's! Tip O'Neill and Reagan, while POLAR political opposits, where life long friends, deeply respectful of one another, AND GOT THINGS DONE!
(And yes, I know thats the House not the senate - Reagan had a GOP senate most of his tenure)
