he mentioned Hubert Humphrey as some sort of hero. Humphrey's no hero

As vice president he sat on his hands while we bombed Vietnam to 
smithereens.

In my book it erases any good he may have ever done. Ask the victims 
of Vietnam.

And Carnegie was a robber baron, but he built the public library system. 
Maybe Humphrey is neither hero nor scalawag. We do owe it to ourselves 
to give credit where credit is due. After all, he could not have done 
anything without the cooperation of the DFL and before them the Farmer 
Laborites and the Democrats.
