Heroes and villains often go from the front page to becoming the subjects for ballads or folksongs. From 1950-1954 the Junior Senator from Wisconsin carried out well-publicized "witch hunts" for communist sympathizers in the government. He was finally condemned by the Senate. He was a character and a bad guy........... Walt Kelly, the Pogo cartoonist, created Senator Simple J. Malarky a character mirroring McCarthy. My question: did Joe McCarthy ever show up in a folksong? Nancy-Jean
