"He earned it." And we are in need of a hero in these times.

"Several of my friends have commented that this was a great waste of resources, that it was a big, expensive publicity stunt, and that had John Glenn not been a famous former astronaut and senator, NASA never would have considered sending someone his age into space. To this I have answered, all this is true, but so what. If there is anyone in the world who earned that ride, John Glenn is that man. He is one of the few genuine American heroes, and if he wants to go up one last time, so be it."

Did they say the same thing when a Republican senator (Jake Garn) got his ride on an even flimsier basis?
